Sublime number

In mathematics, a sublime number is a positive integer which has a perfect number of positive divisors (including itself), and whose positive divisors add up to another perfect number.^[1]

The number 12, for example, is a sublime number. It has a perfect number of positive divisors (6): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12, and the sum of these is again a perfect number: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 = 28.

There are only two known sublime numbers, 12 and (2¹²⁶)(2^{61 - 1})(2^{31 - 1})(2^{19 - 1})(2^{7 - 1})(2^{5 - 1})(2^{3 - 1}) (sequence A081357 in the OEIS).^[2]
