%N Numbers which occur as the harmonic mean of the divisors of m for some m.

%C The equation n = m*tau(m)/sigma(m) has an integer solution m.

%C Here tau(n) (A000005) is the number of divisors of n and sigma(n) is the sum of the divisors of n (A000203).

%C A001600 sorted in order.

%C The Mersenne exponents (A000043) are in this sequence because the even perfect numbers, 2^(p-1)*(2^p-1) where p is in A000043, are all harmonic numbers (A001599) with harmonic mean of divisors p. - _Amiram Eldar_, Apr 15 2024
