A214583 Numbers m such that for all k with gcd(m, k) = 1 and m > k^2, m - k^2 is prime. 6

%N Numbers m such that for all k with gcd(m, k) = 1 and m > k^2, m - k^2 is prime.

%C No further terms < 10^10.

%C This sequence is based on a remark in a paper distributed over the Internet (see the Leo Moser link) under the heading "Unsolved Problems and Conjectures" (page 84):

%C "Is 968 the largest number n such that for all k with (n, k) = 1 and n > k^2, n - k^2 is prime? (Erdős)"

%C The statement by Moser contains an error: 968 does NOT have this property (968-25*25 = 343 = 7*7*7), and the largest such number (1722) is larger than 968.

%e For example, the number 20 is part of this sequence because 20-1*1 = 19 (prime), and 20-3*3 = 11 (prime). Not considered are 20-2*2 and 20-4*4, because 2 and 4 are not relative primes to 20.
