This question related to [this] question from SE. I'm interested to know if there exists an integer $x>1$ that satisfies $${\sigma}^{k}(x)\equiv 0\pmod{x}$$ for all positive integers $k$. **Note.** $\sigma(x)$ is the sum of divisors of $x$, and ${\sigma}^{k}(x )=\sigma(\sigma(\sigma(\sigma(\cdots x))))$ is $\sigma$ iterated $k$ times. **Edit.** I edited the question to avoid the trivialities.
