%N Frobenius number of the numerical semigroup generated by consecutive centered square numbers.
%C The Frobenius number of a numerical semigroup generated by relatively prime integers a_1,...,a_n is the largest positive integer that is not a nonnegative linear combination of a_1,...,a_n. Since consecutive centered squares are relatively prime, they generate a numerical semigroup with a Frobenius number. The Frobenius number of a 2-generator semigroup <a,b> is ab-a-b.
