Analogous to admirable numbers (A111592) as 3-perfect numbers (A005820) are analogous to perfect numbers (A000396).
The proper divisors of each term k can be added to a sum of 2*k with one divisor taken with a minus sign.
Are there odd terms in this sequence? If there are, they are squares that are larger than 10^20. - Amiram Eldar, Jul 06 2026

EXAMPLE
180 is a term since its proper divisors can be added to 1 + 2 - 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 30 + 36 + 45 + 60 + 90 = 360 = 2 * 180, with one divisor, 3, taken with a minus sign.
