As Frank explained (thanks to him) the ratio certainly converges to 0
(order 1/log(n)) .
A VERY good approximation of the ratio between 10000 and 300000 is 1/( 2
* log(n) ) .
In this range |ratio - 1/(2*log(n))| < 1/1000
Best regards,
JT.

Hello Seqfans,
I am making a webpage about sequences. I have a lot of sequence examples there. Most of them are in OEIS, but I have several that are not. The sequences themselves are not very interesting (they could be used as puzzle sequences for kids). Without my page I wouldn't submit them. Does the existence of my page change the level of interestingness of these sequences?
Also, for aesthetic reasons it would be nice for me to have every sequence referenced. Is this a good reason to submit?
Best, Tanya

My favorite example:
A005101 Abundant numbers
Start the same as even abundant numbers. The first odd abundant number is 945.
