1,1

Since the factorization of numbers that are divisible only by primes congruent to 3 (mod 4) is the same also in Gaussian integers, these pairs are also Gaussian amicable pairs.

There are 4197267 lesser members of amicable pairs below 10^20 and only 1565 are in this sequence.

The least pair, (294706414233, 305961592167), was discovered by Herman J. J. te Riele in 1995.

The larger counterparts are in A354071.
