%N A074902 Known friendly numbers.
%C A074902 The sequence is not known to be complete up to 372, since there are many
small numbers, including 10, 14, 15 and 20, which have not been proved
to be solitary. If any other numbers up to 372 are friendly, the
smallest corresponding values of m are > 10^30.
%C A074902 A positive integer n is 'friendly' if abundancy(n) = abundancy(m) for
some positive integer m not equal to n, where abundancy(n) = sigma(n)/
n (cf. A000203); otherwise n is 'solitary'. (The name "friendly"
is also sometimes mistakenly used with other meanings; cf. A063990
and A007770.)
%C A074902 All perfect numbers are friendly numbers, but they are only friendly
with each other (a perfect number being defined as having abundancy
index of 2.) [From Daniel Forgues (squid(AT)zensearch.com), Jun 23
