Comments

Sometimes called friendly numbers, but this usage is deprecated.

All terms are abundant (A005101). - Michel Marcus, Mar 10 2013

See A125490-A125492 and A137231 for amicable triples, A036471-A036474 and A116148 for amicable quadruples, and A233553 for amicable quintuples. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 14 2013

This sequence is strictly increasing (and A002046, which contains the larger (deficient) number in each pair, is sorted by this sequence). - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Jan 27 2015

For the related amicable pairs see A259180. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 15 2015

Pomerance (1981) shows that there are at most x*exp(-log(x)^(1/3)) terms of this sequence up to x. In particular, as originally demonstrated by Erdős, this sequence has density 0. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 17 2017

Formula

a(n) = A259180(2n-1) = A180164(n) - A259180(2n) = A180164(n) - A002046(n). - Omar E. Pol, Jul 15 2015

Mathematica

Reap[For[n = 1, n <= 10^6, n++, If[(s = DivisorSigma[1, n]) > 2n && DivisorSigma[1, s - n] == s, Print[n]; Sow[n]]]][[2, 1]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 09 2015, after M. F. Hasler *)
