COMMENTS

Corresponding values of sigma(n - 2) = sigma(n + 2): 72, 144, 144, 504, 360, 1080, 3456, 7560, 4320, 5040, 15120, 11664, .... The first two values not divisible by 72 are for n = 21 and 23, a(n) = 15367 and 17842, sigma = 21120 and 41664. A search up to a(n) = 10^8 did not turn up any sigma not divisible by 24. - Michael B. Porter, Mar 28 2013
