Comments

A unitary aspiring number is an integer whose unitary aliquot sequences ends by meeting a unitary-perfect number (A098185) in its trajectory, but is not unitary-perfect itself. There are 1693 such numbers <=100000 and of these 82860 and 97020 generate the longest unitary aliquot sequences (according to A097032), each having length 18 and ending with the unitary perfect number 90.

Examples

			a(5) = 476 because the fifth non-unitary-perfect number whose unitary aliquot sequence ends in a unitary-perfect number is 476.
