a(n) = smallest k with sigma(sigma(k)) = n*k (or 0 if no such k exists)
 is A272930

and has a gaping hole in it:

1, 2, 8, 15,  ?, 42, 24, 60, 168, 480, 4404480, 2200380, 57120, 217728,
1058148, 7526400, ?, ...


The comments say the search for a(5) has gone out to 5*10^11, and that it
is conjectured to be nonzero.
