A subset of A045769.
If 2^m-5 is prime then n=2^(m-1)*(2^m-5) is in the sequence (see comment lines of the sequence A088831). 12, 88, 1888, 32128, 521728, 8378368 & 34359083008 are such terms. - Farideh Firoozbakht, Feb 15 2008

Any term x of this sequence can be combined with any term y of A125246 to satisfy the property (sigma(x)+sigma(y))/(x+y) = 2, which is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for two numbers to be amicable. - Timothy L. Tiffin, Sep 13 2016
