COMMENT

The Mathematica program presents a very fast method of computing the factors of colossally abundant numbers. The 100th number has a sigma[n]/n ratio of 10.5681.

This calculation assumes that the ratio of consecutive colossally abundant numbers is always prime, which is implied by a conjecture mentioned in Lagarias' paper.

The ratio of consecutive colossally abundant numbers is prime for at least the first 10^7 terms. The 10^7-th term is a 77908696-digit number which has a sigma(n)/n value of 33.849.
