%N Decimal expansion of the asymptotic median of the abundancy indices of the positive integers.

%C The abundancy index of a number k is sigma(k)/k = A017665(k)/A017666(k), where sigma is the sum-of-divisors function (A000203).

%C Davenport (1933) proved that sigma(k)/k possesses a continuous distribution function. Therefore, it has an asymptotic median.

%C The asymptotic mean of the abundancy indices is Pi^2/6 = 1.64493... (A013661).

%C Mitsuo Kobayashi (unpublished, 2018) found that the median is in the interval (1.523812, 1.5238175) (see the MathOverflow link).
