FORMULA
Numerators of rational numbers (81*x^4 + 540*x^3 - 8370*x^2 + 33900*x - 47975)/(9*x^2 - 150*x + 445)^2, where x ranges over abscissas of rational points on the elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 - 85/3*x + 1550/27.
EXAMPLE
13361 belongs to this sequence since 13361^2 = (35^5 + 123^5) / (35 + 123) with gcd(35, 123)=1.
