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”).

A285906
Numbers n such that sigma(n)/usigma(n) > sigma(m)/usigma(m) for all m < n, where sigma(n) is the sum of divisors of n (A000203) and usigma(n) is the sum of unitary divisors of n (A034448).

COMMENTS
This sequence is infinite. The smallest values of n for which sigma(n)/usigma(n) > 2, 3 and 4 are a(7), a(19), and a(44).

EXAMPLE
sigma(72)=195, usigma(72)=90, and their ratio 195/90=13/6 is higher than sigma(m)/usigma(m) for all m<72, thus 72 is in this sequence.
