I vaguely remember there is a notion of numbers rich in divisors, i.e. (number of divisors of N)/N is comparatively large. What's their name? Given a number M, how could I find such a number in its neighbourhood?

You might be thinking about smooth numbers. How to find such things? I suppose you could just multiply small numbers together until you are within the "neighbourhood". If you overshoot, take out some factors and replace them with other factors. |
