%N Duffinian numbers: composite numbers k relatively prime to sigma(k).

%C All prime powers greater than 1 are in the sequence. No factorial number can be a term. - _Arkadiusz Wesolowski_, Feb 16 2014

%C Even terms are in A088827. Any term also in A005153 is either an even square or twice an even square not divisible by 3. - _Jaycob Coleman_, Jun 08 2014

%C All primes satisfy the second condition since gcd(p, p+1) = 1, thus making this sequence a proper subset of A014567. - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Oct 02 2014

%F A009194(a(n)) * (1 - A010051(a(n))) = 1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Mar 23 2013

%F a(n) >> n log log log n, see Luca. (Clearly excluding the primes only makes the n-th term larger.) - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Feb 17 2014

%e 4 is in the sequence since it is not a prime, its divisors 1, 2, and 4 sum to 7, and gcd(7, 4) = 1.

%e 21 is in the sequences since it is not a prime, and its divisors 1, 3, 7, and 21 sum to 32, which is coprime to 21.
