Denominators are A192632. Diophantus found the rational Diophantine quadruple 1/16, 33/16, 17/4, 105/16. Dujella added a fifth rational number 549120/10201.
It is unknown whether this rational Diophantine quintuple can be extended to a sextuple. Herrmann, Pethoe, and Zimmer proved that the sequence is finite, but no bound on its length is known.
See A030063 for additional comments, references, and links.

EXAMPLE
1/16, 33/16, 17/4, 105/16, 549120/10201.
1 + (1/16)*(33/16) = (17/16)^2.
1 + (33/16)*(549120/10201) = (1069/101)^2.
