COMMENTS
This sequence initially shares many terms with A161005 because small amicable pairs are sometimes consecutive terms in the sorted list of amicable numbers, A063990.
This sequence is sorted by the smaller (abundant) member from A002025, so a(n) is not increasing. - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Jan 27 2015
Duplicates occur, e.g., a(32)=a(35)=1296000. - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Jan 27 2015
Comment originally by M. F. Hasler, Dec 14 2013, in A161005: "Also: The common value of sigma(a) = sigma(b) of the amicable pairs (a,b). See A137231 for the analog for amicable triples, and A116148 for quadruples." - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Jan 27 2015
It is not known if a(n) is always even (see Hagis links). - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Jan 31 2015
