‎we obtain the asymptotic expansion of the sequence with general term $frac{a_n}{g_n}$‎, ‎where $a_n$ and $g_n$ are the arithmetic and geometric means of the numbers $d(1),d(2),dots,d(n)$‎, ‎with $d(n)$ denoting the number of positive divisors of $n$‎. ‎also‎, ‎we obtain some explicit bounds concerning $g_n$ and $frac{a_n}{g_n}$.
