A practical number is a positive integer \( n \) that can be represented as a sum of distinct positive integers not exceeding \( n \). In other words, for a number to be practical, any integer up to \( n \) can be expressed as a sum of distinct integers chosen from the set of positive integers less than or equal to \( n \).
