Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Obviously tau(pqs) = tau(rs^3). So we have pairs of terms of A134922.
s = 593 is the least number such that there are just two matching pairs: (593*381187517*703949, 593^3*763079633) and (593*3911429*780389, 593^3*8680337). And for s = 853693 there are as many as 3 matching pairs.

EXAMPLE
2 is in the sequence because for p = 11, q = 29, r = 71 we have phi(pqs)=phi(rs^3) and sigma(pqs)=sigma(rs^3).
