%N Numbers whose reciprocal is the sum of two reciprocals of squares.

%C These are numbers which can be written either as b^2*c^2*(b^2+c^2)*d^2 or if (b^2+c^2) is a square then as b^2*c^2*d^2, since 1/(b*(b^2+c^2)*d)^2+1/(c*(b^2+c^2)*d)^2 =1/(b^2*c^2*(b^2+c^2)*d^2) and 1/(b*sqrt(b^2+c^2)*d)^2+1/(c*sqrt(b^2+c^2)*d)^2 = 1/(b^2*c^2*d^2).

%e 98 is in the sequence since 1/98=1/10^2+1/70^2 (also 1/98=1/14^2+1/14^2).
