(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A132585 Numbers n such that sigma(n)-n-1 divides sigma(n+1)-n-2, where sigma(n) is sum of positive divisors of n and the ratio is greater than zero. 3

COMMENTS

The banal case of ratio equal to zero is excluded. In fact if n+1 is a prime than sigma(n+1)-n-2=0. Therefore the ratio with sigma(n)-n-1 is equal to zero. Is this sequence finite?

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..6.

EXAMPLE

n=25 -> sigma(25)= 1+5+25 -> sigma(n)-n-1=5

n+1=26 -> sigma(26)= 1+2+13+26 -> sigma(n+1)-n-2=2+13=15

15/5 = 3 (integer > 0)

MAPLE

with(numtheory); P:=proc(n) local a, i; for i from 1 by 1 to n do if sigma(i)-i-1>0 then a:=(sigma(i+1)-i-2)/(sigma(i)-i-1); if a>0 and trunc(a)=a then print(i); fi; fi; od; end: P(100000);
