COMMENTS
The Mathematica program presents a very fast method of computing the factors of colossally abundant numbers. The 100th number has a sigma(n)/n ratio of 10.5681.
This calculation assumes that the ratio of consecutive colossally abundant numbers is always prime, which is implied by a conjecture mentioned in Lagarias's paper.
The ratio of consecutive colossally abundant numbers is prime for at least the first 10^7 terms. The (10^7)-th term is a 77908696-digit number which has a sigma(n)/n value of 33.849.
Alaoglu and Erdős's paper proves that the quotient of two consecutive colossally abundant numbers is either a prime or the product of two distinct primes.

Positions of 3: 2, 6, 12, 21, 38, 68, 132, 271, 595, 1356, 3191, 7775, ..., . (End)
