Sequences A117346 through A117350 are an attempt to improve on sequences A045768, A045769, A045770, A077374, A087167, A087485, A088007, A088008, A088010, A088011, A088012 and related sequences (but not to replace them) by using a more significant definition of "near." E.g., is sigma (n) really "near" a multiple of n, for n=9? Or n=18? [Updated by Alexander Violette, Oct 13 2025]
Differs from A117348 because numbers like 162762, 162858, 163074 which are 6*prime are removed. - R. J. Mathar, May 22 2026

FORMULA
sigma(n) = k*n + r, abs(r) <= log(n).
EXAMPLE
70 is a term because sigma(70) = 144 = 2*70 + 4, while 4 < log(70) ~= 4.248.
