A254571 Least multiplier k such that k*n is abundant or perfect (A023196). 2

%S 6,3,2,3,4,1,4,3,2,2,6,1,6,2,2,3,6,1,6,1,2,3,6,1,4,3,2,1,6,1,6,3,2,3,

%N Least multiplier k such that k*n is abundant or perfect (A023196).

%C See A254572(n)=a(n)*n for the actual non-deficient numbers.

%C The range is {1,2,3,4,6}. Clearly a(n) <= 6 because 6*n is abundant for any n. No n can have a(n)=5. Suppose otherwise. There exists a prime p smaller than 5 which does not divide n (if not, 6|n and a(n)=1). That prime p (either 2 or 3) will boost the abundancy more than does 5. In particular (sigma(p*n))/(p*n) > (sigma(5*n))/(5*n) >= 2, but then a(n) should be p, a contradiction.
