%N Triangle read by rows: T(n, k) is the smallest x such that the denominator of sigma(x)/x is equal to n and the numerator of sigma(x)/x is congruent to k modulo n.

%C When p is prime T(p, 1) is equal to p.

%C When n and k are not coprime, T(n, k) = T(n/gcd(n, k), k/gcd(n,k)).

%C Next term T(12, 5) is <= 212569733376000 with sigma(x)/x = 65/12 and 65 == 5 mod 12.

%e T(2, 1) = 2 since sigma(2)/2 = 3/2 has denominator 2 and numerator 3 == 1(mod 2).

%e T(3, 1) = 3 since sigma(3)/3 = 4/3 has denominator 3 and numerator 4 == 1(mod 3).

%e T(3, 2) = 84 since sigma(84)/84 = 8/3 has denominator 3 and numerator 8 == 2(mod 3).
