%N Harmonic numbers (A001599) k with a record abundancy index sigma(k)/k.

%C The corresponding record values are 1, 2, 2.4, 2.666..., 3, 3.2, 4, 4.363..., ...

%C The terms 1, 6, 672 and 30240 are multiply perfect numbers (A007691) with abundancy indices 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. There is no 5-multiperfect number (A046060) in this sequence since A046060(1) = 14182439040 is larger than the harmonic number 5943057120 which is 5-abundant, having an abundancy index 5.067...

%e The first 7 harmonic numbers are 1, 6, 28, 140, 270, 496 and 672. Their abundancy indices are 1, 2, 2, 2.4, 2.666..., 2 and 3. The record values, 1, 2, 2.4, 2.666... and 3 occur at 1, 6, 140, 270 and 672, the first 5 terms of this sequence.
