A number
is called
superabundant if
for all the numbers
, i.e., if it sets a new record in the ratio
, which is called
abundancy index.
The first 19 superabundant numbers coincide with
the first 19 highly composite numbers.
The smallest superabundant number which is not highly
composite is 1163962800.
The first superabundant numbers are
1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 720, 840, 1260, 1680, 2520, 5040, 10080 more terms
