According to Jan Pederson's web site,
this amicable pair was found by Walker&Einstein in 2001.
(cf. http://amicable.adsl.dk/aliquot/c2/c2_16.txt )

Moreover, that web site lists
1673 pairs with members coprime to 30 (193-907 digits),
cf. http://amicable.homepage.dk/apstat.htm#coprime30

Probably the first of them yields the least amicable number with least
prime factor = 7
(and at a first glance there is none with least prime factor > 7).
