%N The 28-cycle of the n => sigma(n)-n process, where sigma(n) is the sum of divisors of n (A000203).
%C Called a "sociable" chain.
%C One of the two aliquot cycles of length greater than 2 that were discovered by Belgian mathematician Paul Poulet (1887-1946) in 1918 (the second is A072891). They were the only known such cycles until 1965 (see A072892). - _Amiram Eldar_, Mar 24 2024
