COMMENTS

These numbers are the cubefree sums of two nonzero rational cubes.

This sequence does not contain A202679, which has members that are not cubefree. - Robert Israel, Mar 16 2016

Notice that 34^3 + 74^3 = 48*21^3 = 6*42^3 because 48 = 6*2^3 is not cubefree, but now 17^3 + 37^3 = 6*21^3 and 6 is already listed in the sequence. - Michael Somos, Mar 13 2023

EXAMPLE

37^3 + 17^3 = 6*21^3 is the smallest positive solution for n = 6 (found by Lagrange).

5^3 + 4^3 = 7*3^3 is the smallest positive solution for n = 7.
