a(n) and square root of phi(a(n))*sigma(a(n)) + 2*a(n) + 2 are close to each other: e.g., a(7) = 2107519 and this square root is 2107458.
Since (p+1)*(p-1) + 2*(p+1) = p*p + 2*p + 1 = (p+1)^2 is a square, all primes are solutions.
73362272287 and 181264312447 are also terms. - Donovan Johnson, Jul 13 2012
EXAMPLE
k = 7777: sigma(7777) = 9792, phi(7777) = 6000 and 9792*6000 + 2*7778 = 587675556 = 7666^2.
