EXAMPLE
a(1) = 65 = 8^2 + 1 is the smallest expressible number (65 = 7^2 + 4^2),
a(2) = 2210 is expressible in 3 ways (2210 = 43^2 + 19^2 = 41^2 + 23^2 = 37^2 + 29^2),
a(3) = 58565 is expressible in 7 ways,
a(4) = 4678570 is expressible in 15 ways,
a(5) = 442765765 is expressible in 31 ways.
Would a(6) be expressible in 63 ways?
Yes, a(6) = 5279766245 is expressible in 63 ways. - Hugo Pfoertner, Mar 02 2018
a(7) = 2419804247185 can be expressed in 127 ways. This continues the progression that a(n) can be expressed in n^2-1 ways. - Robert Price, Mar 11 2018, updated by Ray Chandler, Dec 23 2019
a(8) = 271780381692170 can be expressed in 255 ways.
a(9) = 28579081466859170 can be expressed in 511 ways.
