%N Perfect numbers whose number of proper divisors is prime.

%C The next term is too large to include in the data section. If there are no odd perfect numbers then the next term is a(6) = 2^606 * (2^607 - 1) = 1.410... * 10^365. - _Amiram Eldar_, Jul 29 2020

%F a(n) = A006516(A172461(n)), assuming that odd perfect numbers do not exist. - _Amiram Eldar_, Jul 29 2020

%e 28 is member because the number of proper divisors of 28 is 5, a prime number.
