A127163 Integers whose aliquot sequences terminate by encountering the prime 3. Also known as the prime family 3.
3, 4, 9, 12, 15, 16, 26, 30, 33, 42, 45, 46, 52, 54, 66, 72, 78, 86, 87, 90, 102, 105, 114, 121, 123, 126, 135, 144, 165, 166, 174, 186, 198, 207, 212, 243, 246, 247, 249, 258, 259, 270

Examples
a(5)=15 because the fifth integer whose aliquot sequence terminates by encountering the prime 3 as a member of its trajectory is 15. The complete aliquot sequence generated by iterating the proper divisors of 15 is 15->9->4->3->1->0

Formula
Define s(i)=sigma(i)-i=A000203(i)-i. Then if the aliquot sequence obtained by repeatedly applying the mapping i->s(i) terminates by encountering the prime 3 as a member of its trajectory, i is included in this sequence
