For the definition see A175837.
Considering only terms of the form 2^k * p with p prime results in a linear equation for p for a given k. Solving quickly generates other terms of the sequence: 137433972736, 2199001235456, 649037107316852462774394019643392, and a 157-digit term associated with k=260. - D. S. McNeil, Dec 08 2010
EXAMPLE
Proper divisors of 20 are: 1,2,4,5,10. Since 2*20-1=(2*1-1)+(2*2-1)+(2*4-1)+(2*5-1)+(2*10-1)=39, then 20 is in the sequence.
