Conjecture: (a) Every highly abundant number >10 is practical (A005153).
(b) For every integer k there exists A such that k divides a(n)
for all n>A. Daniel Fischer proved that every highly abundant
number greater than 3, 20, 630 is divisible by 2, 6, 12 respectively.
The first conjecture has been verified for the first 10000 terms.

Alaoglu and Erdös observed that 210 is the largest highly
abundant number to include only one factor of two in its
prime factorization. All larger highly abundant numbers
are divisible by four, and by the argument above they
are all practical. The remaining cases are small enough
to test individually, and they are all practical. So
Jaycob Coleman's conjecture is true.
