%N Numerators of ratio n!/sigma(n), when the denominators are > 1 and where n! = factorial(n) (A000142) and sigma(n) = sum of divisors of n (A000203).

%C The next term is too large to be displayed.

%C First fractions n!/sigma(n) in their reduced form are: 2/3, 3/2, 24/7, 362880/13, 20922789888000/31, 15511210043330985984000000/31...

%C All terms are even, the third is 24 and all the next ones are multiples of 24. (verified for n <= 10^5).

%C See also comment in A390815.

%e For n = 4, 4!/sigma(4) = 24/7 and 7 does not divide 24, so 24 is a term.

%e For n = 5, 5!/sigma(5) = 120/6 and 6 divides 120, so 120 is not a term.

%o (PARI) isok(n) = ((n! % sigma(n)) != 0); \\ A325436.

%o for(n=1,1000,if(isok(n),print1(numerator(n!/sigma(n))", ")))
