Table of n, a(n) for n=1..47.

Example

n=9: GCD[sigma[x+1], sigma[x]]=5 holds for {391,799,800,881,...} of which the first is a(9)=391.

Mathematica

f[x_] := GCD[DivisorSigma[1, x], DivisorSigma[1, x+1]] t=Table[0, {256}]; Do[s=f[n]; If[s<257&&t[[s]]==0, t[[s]]=n], {n, 1, 10000000}]; t

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = my(x=1, sx=sigma(x), y=2, sy=sigma(2)); while(gcd(sx, sy) != n, x++; y++; sx=sy; sy=sigma(y)); x; \\ Michel Marcus, Aug 28 2019
