Sequences A117346 through A117350 are an attempt to improve on sequences A045768 through A045770, A077374, A087167, A087485 and A088007 through 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? Sigma is the sum_of_divisors function.

EXAMPLE
70 is in the sequence because sigma(70) = 144 = 2*70 + 4, while 4 < log(70) ~= 4.248.
The 2-perfect numbers are excluded because they are 2^n * prime.
