COMMENTS
Many terms are of the form a(k) * p^m/(m+1), where p is coprime to the three solutions for k. The sequence of "primitive" terms (i.e. not expressible this way) begins 3, 40, 54, 125, 135, 216, 250.... Are there any such numbers that admit a fourth solution? - Charlie Neder, Feb 13 2019
EXAMPLE
There are exactly 3 numbers k, 9, 18 and 24, with k/d(k) = 3.
