%C Sometimes called friendly numbers, but this usage is deprecated.

%C All terms are abundant (A005101). - _Michel Marcus_, Mar 10 2013

%C See A125490-A125492 and A137231 for amicable triples, A036471-A036474 and A116148 for amicable quadruples, and A233553 for amicable quintuples. - _M. F. Hasler_, Dec 14 2013

%C This sequence is strictly increasing (and A002046, which contains the larger (deficient) number in each pair, is sorted by this sequence). - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Jan 27 2015

%C For the related amicable pairs see A259180. - _Omar E. Pol_, Jul 15 2015

%C Pomerance (1981) shows that there are at most x*exp(-log(x)^(1/3)) terms of this sequence up to x. In particular, as originally demonstrated by Erdős, this sequence has density 0. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Aug 17 2017
