%N Numbers k that have a record number of common divisors with sigma(k).

%C Indices of records in A073802.

%C This sequence is infinite since A073802 is unbounded. For example, for any odd number m we have A073802(2^(m-1)*(2^m-1)) >= A000005(m) and the number of divisors of odd numbers is unbounded.

%C The corresponding record values are 1, 4, 6, 16, 24, 40, 60, 96, 144, 216, 240, 336, ... .

%C a(26) <= 799959888000.
