COMMENTS
In the first 100 terms, the values of a(42), a(54), a(66) and a(78) are greater than 2.5 * 10^11, if they exist. [Giovanni Resta, Jan 24 2017]
EXAMPLE
For n = 1 -> [sigma(672) + sigma(672+1)] / (672 + 672 + 1) = [2016 + 674] / 1345 = 2690 / 1345 = 2 and 672 is the least number to have this property.
MAPLE
with(numtheory): P:=proc(q) local a; global n, k;
for n from 1 to q do for k from 1 to q do a:=sigma(k)+sigma(k+n);
if type(a/(2*k+n), integer) then print(k); break; fi; if k=q then print(-1); fi; od; od; end: P(10^6);
