Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Original name: Numbers n such that A094759(n) < n.
Agrees with A050973 without duplicates.
Also numbers n such that the value sigma(n)/n has already been reached before n. If n belongs to the sequence then A214701(n) = A214701(n-1). - Michel Marcus, Aug 19 2012

EXAMPLE
A094759(28) = 6 < 28, hence 28 is in the sequence.
PROG
