A note on friends of 20

Does $20$ have a friend? Or is it a solitary number? A folklore conjecture asserts that $20$ has no friends i.e. it is a solitary number. In this article, we prove that, a friend $N$ of $20$ is of the form $N=2\cdot5^{2a}m^2$ and it has atleast six distinct prime divisors. Also we prove that $N$ must be atleast $2\cdot 10^{12}$. Furthermore, we show that $Ω(N)\geq 2ω(N)+6a-5$ and if $Ω(m)\leq K$ then $N< 10\cdot 6^{(2^{K-2a+3}-1)^2}$, where $Ω(n)$ and $ω(n)$ denote the total number of prime divisors and the number of distinct prime divisors of the integer $n$ respectively. In addition, we deduce that, not all exponents of odd prime divisors of friend $N$ of $20$ are congruent to $-1$ modulo $f$, where $f$ is the order of $5$ in $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^\times$ such that $3\mid f$ and $p$ is a prime congruent to $1$ modulo $6$.
