Comments

Or, numbers j such that product of proper divisors of j is j.

If M(j) denotes the product of the divisors of j, then j is said to be k-multiplicatively perfect if M(j) = j^k. All such numbers are of the form p q^(k-1) or p^(2k-1). This statement is in Sandor's paper. Therefore all 2-multiplicatively perfect numbers are semiprime p*q or cubes p^3. - Walter Kehowski, Sep 13 2005

All 2-multiplicatively perfect numbers except 1 have 4 divisors (as implied by Kehowski) and the converse is also true that all numbers with 4 divisors are 2-multiplicatively perfect. - Howard Berman (howard_berman(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 24 2008

Also 1 followed by numbers j such that A000005(j) = 4. - Nathaniel Johnston, May 03 2011

Example

The divisors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10 and 1 * 2 * 5 * 10 = 100 = 10^2.
