Puzzle 435. φ(x) + σ(x) = k.x

Farideh Firoozbakht poses the following question:

Maybe some of your puzzlers can find next term (or more terms) of the sequence A015704. 

A015704: 1, 312, 23760, x
x=smallest m such that
φ(m) + σ(m)=5m.

We know all solutions of the equation phi(x)+sigma(x)=2*x (1 & all primes). Also we know some solutions of the equations φ(x) + σ(x) = k.x ; k=3 & 4 (please see A011774 & A011254).  But we don't know even one solution for the equations phi(x)+sigma(x)=k*x  where k>4 and I'd like to know some of them.
