COMMENT

Does a(n+1)/a(n) converge to e?

Does a(n+1)/a(n) converge to e? Reply from Jon E. Schoenfield: Since the total number of divisors of {1..k} (see A006218) is k * (log(k) + 2*gamma - 1) + O(sqrt(k)), the average number of divisors of {1..k} approaches (log(k) + 2*gamma - 1). Since log(a(n)) + 2*gamma - 1 approaches n, a(n+1)/a(n) approaches e. - Jon E. Schoenfield (jonscho(AT)hiwaay.net), Aug 13 2007

EXAMPLE

a(20) = 415739030 because the average number of divisors of {1..415739030} is >= 20.

MATHEMATICA

s = 0; k = 1; Do[ While[s = s + DivisorSigma[0, k]; s < k*n, k++ ]; Print[k]; k++, {n, 1, 20}]
