COMMENTS
The larger positive integer is A393184(n), the deficiency of a(n) is A393186(n).
For each n, the pair (A393185(n), A393184(n)) contains one abundant number and one deficient number. Exception: at n = 4, the pair (6, 28) consists of two perfect numbers.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 5 since (5, A393184(1)) = (5, 12) is the first pair with opposite abundances +-4.
a(4) = 6 since (6, A393184(4)) = (6, 28) is the first pair with abundances 0 and 0.
a(12) = 112 since (112, A393184(12)) = (112, 118) is the first pair with opposite abundances +-56.
