%N Betrothed (or quasi-amicable) numbers.

%C Members of a pair (m,n) such that sigma(m) = sigma(n) = m+n+1, where sigma = A000203. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 04 2008

%C Also members of a pair (m,k) such that m = sum of nontrivial divisors of k and k = sum of nontrivial divisors of m. - _Juri-Stepan Gerasimov_, Sep 11 2009

%C Also numbers that are terms of cycles when iterating Chowla's function A048050. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Feb 09 2013

%C From _Amiram Eldar_, Mar 09 2024: (Start)

%C The first pair, (48, 75), was found by Nasir (1946).

%C Lehmer (1948) in a review of Nasir's paper, noted that "the pair (48, 75) behave like amicable numbers".

%C Makowski (1960) found the next 2 pairs, and called them "pairs of almost amicable numbers".

%C The next 6 pairs were found by independently by Garcia (1968), who named them "números casi amigos" and Lal and Forbes (1971), who named them "reduced amicable pairs".

%C Beck and Wajar (1971) found 6 more pairs, but missed the 15th and 16th pairs, (526575, 544784) and (573560, 817479).

%C Hagis and Lord (1977) found the first 46 pairs. They called them "quasi-amicable numbers", after Garcia (1968).

%C Beck and Wajar (1993) found the next 33 pairs.

%C According to Guy (2004; 1st ed., 1981), the name "betrothed numbers" was proposed by Rufus Isaacs. (End)
