Comments

It appears that most of the terms are divisible by 3; the smallest exception is 13475.

Up to 10^9, 223182 of 20606497 (about 1%) of the terms are not divisible by 3. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Nov 28 2019

Example

sigma(62) = 96, sigma(63) = 104, sigma(64) = 127. Hence, 63 is in the sequence.
sigma(74) = 114, sigma(75) = 124, sigma(76) = 140. Hence, 75 is in the sequence.
