%N Numbers k for which sigma(k)/k = 32/11.

%C This sequence will contain terms of the form 33*P, where P is a perfect number (A000396) not divisible by 3 or 11. Proof: sigma(33*P)/(33*P) = sigma(33)*sigma(P)/(33*P) = 48*(2*P)/(33*P) = 32/11. QED

%C Terms ending in "24" or "x8" (where x is an even digit) have this form. Example: a(1) = 33*A000396(2), a(3) = 33*A000396(3), and a(n) = 33*A000396(n-1) for 5, 6, 7, 8.

%C Conjecture: a(n) = 33*A341623(n) for n >= 1. Motivation: If no term of A341623 is divisible by 11 (which appears to be the case), then sigma(33*A341623(n))/(33*A341623(n)) = sigma(11)*sigma(3*A341623(n))/(33*A341623(n)) = 12*(8*A341623(n))/(33*A341623(n)) = 32/11. Does this sequence, though, contain any additional terms that are not generated by A341623?

%e 2970 is a term, since sigma(2970)/2970 = 8640/2970 = 32/11.

%e 18018 is a term, since sigma(18018)/18018 = 52416/18018 = 32/11.
