Comments

The average of the divisors of n is equal to sigma(n)/tau(n).

Up to 5*10^12, there are only 3 terms for which the mean is not an integer, namely 254641594575, 280895287491 and 328966666100.

Example

91 is a term since the average of the divisors of 91 and 92 is the same. Indeed, (1+7+13+91)/4 = (1+2+4+23+46+92)/6.
