%N Positive integers m such that sigma(m) is divisible by 5.

%C See the subsequence A274685 of odd terms for a remark on frequent pairs of the form (30k-3, 30k-1).

%C If m is in the sequence and gcd(k,m)=1, then k*m is also in the sequence. One might call "primitive" those terms which are not of this form, i.e., not a "coprime" multiple of an earlier term. The primitive terms are the primes and powers of primes within the sequence, cf. below.

%C Integers m > 0 where an integer k exists such that A000203(m) = A008587(k). - _Felix Fröhlich_, Jul 02 2016

%C For any prime p <> 5 there is an exponent k in {1, 3, 4} (depending on whether p is in A030433, A003631 or A030430) such that p^k is in this sequence. Given these p^k, the sequence consists of all numbers of the form n*p^(q*(k+1)-1) where n is coprime to p and q >= 1. Otherwise said, all numbers m which have some prime factor p with multiplicity q*(k+1)-1, where k = k(p) in {1, 3, 4} as introduced before. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 10 2016
