COMMENTS

There can not be four consecutive squarefree numbers as one of them is divisible by 2^2 =4. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 18 2002

FORMULA

m(x)*m(x+1)*m(x+2)=1, where m(w)=Abs(mu(w)). - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu)

EXAMPLE

4 categories: all terms are composites like {33,34,35}; first term only is prime like {37,38,39}; 3rd term only is prime like {57,58,59}; first and 3rd are primes like {29,30,31}. - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu)

85 is a term as 85 = 17*5, 86 = 43*2, 87 = 29*3.
