COMMENTS

There may be other primitive friendly integers within the range of those given, but they have yet to be calculated.

All perfect numbers are 2-primitive-friendly (since they are all products of distinct powers of 2 and distinct Mersenne primes.) [From Daniel Forgues (squid(AT)zensearch.com), Jun 24 2009]

FORMULA

Friends m and n are primitive friendly iff they have no common prime factor of the same multiplicity.

EXAMPLE

While 6 and 28 are not coprime because they share the common factor 2, the factor 2 appears twice in 28 but only once in 6, so they are in the sequence.
