%C A063680 From _Jon E. Schoenfield_, Oct 26 2022: (Start)
%C A063680 Each of the first 4 terms of the sequence is of the form k = 9^j - 7:
%C A063680              74 = 9^2  - 7,
%C A063680          531434 = 9^6  - 7,
%C A063680       387420482 = 9^9  - 7,
%C A063680   2541865828322 = 9^13 - 7.
%C A063680 The next terms of this form are 9^53 - 7 and 9^82 - 7.
%C A063680 Does the sequence contain any terms that are not of this form?
%C A063680 (End)
%C A063680 No other terms < 2.7*10^15. - _Jud McCranie_, Jul 27 2025
%e A063680 sigma(74) + 7 = 121 = sigma(74+7), so 74 is in the sequence.
