For n < 6, the product of the first n Fermat primes is in the sequence because if m = 2^(2^n)-1 and n < 6 then d(m) = d(phi(m)) = 2^n.

(1). If p is a Sophie Germain prime greater than 3 then m = 69615*(2p+1) (A005385) is in the sequence because d(m) = d(phi(m)) = 96. 765765, 1601145, 3271905, 4107285, 5778045, 7448805, ... is the related subsequence.

(2). If p is a prime greater than 3 such that 4p+1 is prime then m = 700245*(4p+1) (A090866) is in the sequence because d(m) = d(phi(m)) = 160. 20307105, 37112985, 104336505, 121142385, ... is the related subsequence. (End)

It is an open question whether this sequence contains infinitely many terms; see Bellaouar et al., 2023. - Allen Stenger, Feb 16 2024
