A natural number n is called superabundant precisely when, for all m < n: σ ( m ) m < σ ( n ) n {\displaystyle {\frac {\sigma (m)}{m}}<{\frac {\sigma (n)}{n}}} where σ denotes the sum-of-divisors function (i.e., the sum of all positive divisors of n, including n itself). The first few superabundant numbers are 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120, ... (sequence A004394 i...
