colossally abundant number  

Definition

  • In number theory, a colossally abundant number (sometimes abbreviated as CA) is a natural number that, in a particular, rigorous sense, has many divisors. Particularly, it is defined by a ratio between the sum of an integer's divisors and that integer raised to a power higher than one. For any such exponent, whichever integer has the highest ratio is a colossally abundant number. It is a stronger restriction than that of a superabundant number, but not strictly stronger than that of an abundant number. Formally, a number n is said to be colossally abundant if there is an ε > 0 such that for all k > 1,
    where σ denotes the sum-of-divisors function.
