%N Numbers k such that sigma_3(k) is divisible by the square of phi(k).

%C The first 8 terms are solutions to: {sigma_{6j+3}(x)/phi(x)^2 is an integer, for j=1,...,300}. A proof is possible with knowledge of respective divisors of sigma_k(x) and phi(x).

%e k = 14: phi(k)^2 = 36, sigma_3(k) = 3096 = 36*86.

%t Empirical test for very high powers of divisors is: t = {1, 2, 3, 6, 14, 42, 3810, 13243560} Table[{6*j+3, Union[Table[IntegerQ[DivisorSigma[6*j + 3, Part[t, k]]/EulerPhi[Part[t, k]]^2], {k, 1, 8}]]}, {j, 1, 300}]; output={exponent, True}.
