COMMENTS

The Mathematica program uses the fact that the ratio of consecutive superior highly composite numbers is a prime, which was proved by Ramanujan. Ramanujan computed the first 50 terms of this sequence. Related sequences are A004490 and A073751, having to do with colossally abundant numbers.
