%N A005231 Odd abundant numbers (odd numbers m whose sum of divisors exceeds 2m).
%C A005231 While the first even abundant number is 12 = 2^2*3, the first odd abundant is 945 = 3^3*5*7, the 232nd abundant number.
%C A005231 Schiffman notes that 945+630k is in this sequence for all k < 52. Most of the first initial terms are of the form. Among the 1996 terms below 10^6, 1164 terms are of that form, and only 26 terms are not divisible by 5, cf. A064001. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 16 2016
%C A005231 From _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 28 2016: (Start)
%C A005231 Any multiple of an abundant number is again abundant, see A006038 for primitive terms, i.e., those which are not a multiple of an earlier term.
%C A005231 An odd abundant number must have at least 3 distinct prime factors, and 5 prime factors when counted with multiplicity (A001222), whence a(1) = 3^3*5*7. To see this, write the relative abundancy A(N) = sigma(N)/N = sigma[-1](N) as A(Product p_i^e_i) = Product (p_i-1/p_i^e_i)/(p_i-1) < Product p_i/(p_i-1).
%C A005231 See A115414 for terms not divisible by 3, A064001 for terms not divisible by 5, A112640 for terms coprime to 5*7, and A047802 for other generalizations.
%C A005231 As of today, we don't know of a difference between this set S of odd abundant numbers and the set S' of odd semiperfect numbers: Elements of S' \ S would be perfect (A000396), and elements of S \ S' would be weird (A006037), but no odd weird or perfect number is known. (End)
%C A005231 For any term m in this sequence, A064989(m) is also an abundant number (in A005101), and for any term x in A115414, A064989(x) is in this sequence. If there are no odd perfect numbers, then applying A064989 to these terms and sorting into ascending order gives A337386. - _Antti Karttunen_, Aug 28 2020
%C A005231 There exist infinitely many terms m such that 2*m+1 is also a term. An example of such a term is given by m = 985571808130707987847768908867571007187. - _Max Alekseyev_, Nov 16 2023
