(End)
a(6) >= A002110(47) * 117664981274811979008000 = 1.9365109... * 10^107. - Max Alekseyev, Mar 21 2023
EXAMPLE
24 has 8 divisors (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24), and their sum is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 60, which does not exceed 8^2 = 64. Every number k > 24 has sigma(k) > tau(k)^2, so a(2) = 24.
