Comments

The odd terms of A333038 [sigma(m) <= sigma(m-1)] represent about 95% of the data, so the odd integers that do not satisfy this relation are proposed here.

Except for 3, there are no prime powers in this sequence.

It appears that most of the terms are divisible by 3; the two smallest exceptions are 13475 and 17255 (see A323726).

Odd (and even) numbers such that sigma(m) = sigma(m-1) are in A231546.

Examples

			sigma(63) = 1+3+7+9+21+63 = 104 > sigma(62) = 1+2+31+62=96 and 63 is in the sequence.
sigma(77) = 1+7+11+77 = 96 < sigma(76) = 1+2+4+19+38+76 = 140 and 77 is not a term.
