%F a(A005153(n)) = 2*sigma(A005153(n)) + 1. - _David A. Corneth_, May 19 2021

%F a(p) = 9 for odd primes p. - _Antti Karttunen_, May 19 2021

%e a(2)=7 because the signed divisors of 2 are -2, -1, 1 and 2 and their all possible sums are -1, -2, -3, 0, 1, 2, 3.

%e a(3)=9 because the signed divisors of 3 are -3, -1, 1 and 3 and their all possible sums are -1, -2, -3, -4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
