%N Numbers whose sum of proper divisors is equal to 88978489594

%C The number 88978489594 is the 45th element of A283157. That is, no even number below it has more preimages under the sum-of-proper-divisors function.

%C There are exactly 95 elements in the sequence.

%C In 2016, C. Pomerance proved that, for every e>0, the number of preimages is O_e(n^{2/3+e}).

%C Conjecture: there exists a positive real number k such that the number of preimages of an even number n is O((log n)^k).
