COMMENTS
There may be other integers in the sequence within the range of those given, but they have yet to be calculated and moreover, some of these given may prove to be primitive friendly.
Abundancy is defined as the ratio of the multiplicative sum-of-divisors function to the integer itself: abund(n) = sigma(n)/n. E.g., abund(10) = sigma(10) / 10 = (1+2+5+10)/10 = 1.8 = 9/5.
Integers m and n are friendly iff they have the same abundancy. E.g., abund(12) = abund(234) = 7/3 ===> 12 and 234 are friends.
Friends m and n are primitive friendly iff they have no common prime factor of the same multiplicity.

EXAMPLE
66 is a friend of 308, 5456, 89408 and 369053696, but all of these are divisible by 11 and not 121, while 66 is not known to be primitive friendly.
280 is not a term because although 280 = 2^3*5*7 and 1553357978368 = 2^8*7^2*19^2*37*73*127 have the same abundancy they have no common prime factors of the same multiplicity and so are primitive friendly. It should be noted that 18620 = 2^2*5*7^2*19 also has the same abundancy. - Suyash Pandit, Sep 24 2023
