A056602

Terms have been verified. There are no additional terms for m <= 7. - Rick L. Shepherd, Jun 16 2008
(C(3m+1,m+1)*C(2m,m))/(C(3m-2,m)*C(2m-2,m-1)) = (27m^2-1)/(m^2+1), so for a brute-force search for large m, about 27 times as many cases must be examined for m as for m-1. - Rick L. Shepherd, Jun 16 2008
EXAMPLE
10 = (2*5) = 3+7;
231 = (3*7*11) = (2*5)+(13*17);
2958 = (2*3*17*29) = (5*13*23)+(7*11*19);
226083 = (3*11*13*17*31) = (2*7*19*23)+(5*29*37*41).
