5040 (number) - Number Theory

Number Theory

If is the divisor function and is the Euler-Mascheroni constant, then 5040 is the largest known number for which this inequality holds:

.

This is somewhat unusual, since in the limit we have:

Guy Robin showed in 1984 that the inequality fails for all larger numbers if and only if the Riemann hypothesis is true.
