%N Difference between the closest squares surrounding a squarefree composite number and n have a common divisor greater than 1.
%F Let n be a squarefree composite number and r = floor(sqrt(n)). Then the closest surrounding squares of n are r^2 and (r+1)^2. So d = (r+1)^2 - r^2 = 2r+1. If gcd(n, d) > 1 then list d.
%e 14 is a squarefree composite number. 3^2 and 4^2 are the closest squares surrounding 14. So the difference, 16-9 = 7 and 14 have a common divisor greater than 1 namely 7, so 7 is the first entry in the table.
%o (PARI) surrsqgcd(n) = { local(x,y,j,r,d); for(x=1,n, if(!issquare(x)&!isprime(x), r=floor(sqrt(x)); d=r+r+1; if(gcd(x,d) > 1, print1(d",") ) ) ) }
