All entries are even. [Proved to be false, see below. (Ed.)] %C A181595 Conjecture 3. If the suitable (according to the definition) divisor d of an entry is not a power of 2, then it is not suitable divisor for any other entry. %C A181595 Conjecture 4. If a suitable divisor for an even entry is odd, then it is a Mersenne prime (A000043). %C A181595 If Conjectures 3 and 4 are true, then an entry with odd suitable divisor has the form 2^(p-1)*(2^p-1)^2, where p and 2^p-1 are primes. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Nov 08 2010 to Dec 16 2010 %C A181595 The only odd term in this sequence < 2*10^12 is 173369889. - _Donovan Johnson_, Feb 15 2012 %C A181595 173369889 remains only odd term up to 1.4*10^19. - _Peter J. C. Moses_, Mar 05 2012 %C A181595 These numbers are obviously pseudoperfect (A005835) since they are equal to the sum of all the proper divisors except the one that is the same as the abundance. - _Alonso del Arte_, Jul 16 2012 %H A181595 Donovan Johnson, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200 %H A181595 Hùng Việt Chu, Divisibility of Divisor Functions of Even Perfect Numbers, J.
