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”).

%N a(n) begins the first run of least n consecutive numbers whose sum of divisors has the same set of distinct prime divisors.

%C a(n) is the least k such that rad(sigma(k)) = rad(sigma(k+1)) = ... = rad(sigma(k+n-1)), where rad(n) is the squarefree kernel of n (A007947) and sigma(n) is the sum of the divisors of n (A000203).

%e a(4) = 3777 since it is the least number such that

%e sigma(3777) = 5040 = 2^4 * 3^2 * 5 * 7,

%e sigma(3778) = 5670 = 2^1 * 3^4 * 5 * 7,

%e sigma(3779) = 3780 = 2^2 * 3^3 * 5 * 7,

%e sigma(3780) = 13440 = 2^7 * 3^1 * 5 * 7,

%e all having the same set of prime divisors: 2, 3, 5, 7.
