Similar to A055708.
Sequence includes every number of the form 2^(j-1)*(2^j+3) such that 2^j+3 is prime (i.e., j is a term in A057732); terms of this form are 5, 14, 44, 152, 2144, 8384, 8394752, 536920064, 2147581952, 34360131584, ... - Jon E. Schoenfield, Jan 22 2018
Superset of A125246. a(20) > 10^12. - Giovanni Resta, Jan 23 2018
EXAMPLE
For k=44, sigma(k)/(k-2) = sigma(44)/(44-2) = 84/42 = 2, so 44 belongs to the sequence;
for k=110, sigma(k)/(k-2) = sigma(110)/(110-2) = 216/108 = 2, so 110 is also a term.
