COMMENTS

This is to rho (A206369) what hemiperfect numbers are to sigma (A000203).

After 3, 10 and 42, whose quotients are resp. 3/2, 5/2 and 7/2, 373316437260251755241798182764378479569038727298776522806597255168000000 is an instance of a term with quotient 9/2. - Michel Marcus, Dec 17 2017

EXAMPLE

3 is a term since rho(3) = 2, so 3/rho(3) is 3/2.

10 is a term since rho(10) = 4, so 10/rho(10) is 5/2.

42 is a term since rho(42) = 12, so 42/rho(42) is 7/2.

MAPLE

rho:= proc(n) local f;

mul((f[1]^(f[2]+1)+(-1)^f[2])/(f[1]+1), f = ifactors(n)[2]);

end proc:

select(t -> denom(t/rho(t)) = 2, [$1..10^6]); # Robert Israel, Nov 20 2017

MATHEMATICA

(* b = A209369 *) b[n_] := n*DivisorSum[n, LiouvilleLambda[#]/# &];

Select[Range[10^6], If[Denominator[#/b[#]] == 2, Print[#]; True, False]&] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 04 2017 *)

PROG

(PARI) rho(n) = {my(f = factor(n), res = q = 1); for(i=1, #f~, q = 1; for(j = 1, f[i, 2], q = -q + f[i, 1]^j); res *= q); res; }

isok(n) = denominator(n/rho(n))==2;
