Rara Avis

The number associated with my diurnal age today, 27824, is what could be termed a rara avis (someone or something that is rare) because, in the range up to 40,000, there are only three other numbers with which it sharts a certain property. The property is that: 

the sum of their proper divisors minus
the product of their digits equals the number


The numbers are 198, 4172, 7144 and 27824 and they are the initial members of OEIS A331098. Figure 1 shows the details:

Here is a longer list of the sequence's members:

198, 4172, 7144, 27824, 72212, 111126, 1111134, 1113114, 1131114, 7121212, 11131122, 13111122, 33550336, 111711124, 1111113114, 1111212172, 1113111114, 2111211172, 7111211212, 8589869056, 11112117212, 11113111122, 11121121172, 11711121212, 13111111122, 17112111212

The perfect numbers containing a 0 digit are all in this sequence (33550336 and 8589869056 are shown above).

What if the change the property so that we have:

the sum of their proper divisors minus
the sum of their digits equals the number


In this case, the numbers are more numerous. In the range up to 40000 we have (permalink):

20, 66, 138, 174, 246, 282, 318, 354, 426, 534, 606, 642, 822, 1038, 1074, 1146, 1182, 1362, 1434, 1506, 1542, 1614, 1902, 2082, 2118, 2154, 2334, 2406, 2514, 2802, 3018, 3054, 3126, 3342, 3414, 3522, 3702, 4062, 4206, 4314, 5034, 5142, 5322, 6114, 7122, 7232, 7302, 8202, 8415, 10182, 10254, 10326, 10722, 11082, 11226, 11262, 11334, 11406, 11442, 12018, 12162, 12234, 12414, 12522, 13242, 13422, 13602, 14034, 14106, 14142, 14502, 16122, 17022, 19002, 20082, 20154, 20226, 20334, 20442, 20802, 21162, 21234, 21342, 21702, 22026, 22062, 22206, 22314, 22602, 23106, 23502, 24006, 24042, 24114, 25302, 26022, 27102, 30018, 30054, 30126, 30234, 30306, 30522, 31026, 31134, 31422, 31815, 32106, 32322, 32502, 33006, 33042, 33114, 34014, 34302, 35202

For example, 20 has a sum of proper divisors equal to 22 and its sum of digits is 2, thus 22 - 2 = 20. These numbers form OEIS A331096. Most of the members are even numbers but 8415 and 31815 are odd.
