The ratio of the sum of the positive divisors of a positive integer to that integer. For coprime a,b, the ratio is multiplicative because the divisor function σ is multiplicative. The contribution of a prime power pe is (1+p+⋯+pe)/pe, so a prescribed quotient can be searched through its remaining numerator and denominator.
