Abstract: Abstract Let E ( x , y ) = # { n ≤ x : gcd ( n , σ ( n ) ) > y } $$E(x,y) = \#\{n\le x: \gcd (n,\sigma (n)) > y\}$$ . We collect known results about the distribution of E ( x , y ) $$E(x,y)$$ and establish a new, sharp estimate for E ( x , y ) $$E(x,y)$$ when y grows faster than any power of log log x $$\log \log {x}$$ but y = exp ( ( log log x ) o ( 1 ) ) $$y = \exp ((\log \log {x})^{o(1)})$$ . Taken together, these results determine the order of magnitude of log ( E ( x , y ) ∕ x ) $$\log (E(x,y)/x)$$ whenever 1 ≤ y ≤ x 1 − 𝜖 $$1 \le y \le x^{1-\epsilon }$$ .
