"If a composite number C is of the form a^2 + kb^2 for some integers a & b, then every prime factor of C raised to an odd power is of the form c^2 + kd^2 for some integers c & d."
This statement is only true for k = 1, 2, 3.
For k = 7, with the exception of the prime factor 2, the statement mentioned above is true.
A number can be written as a^2 + b^2 if and only if it has no prime factor congruent to 3 (mod 4) raised to an odd power.
A number can be written as a^2 + 2b^2 if and only if it has no prime factor congruent to 5 (mod 8) or 7 (mod 8) raised to an odd power.
A number can be written as a^2 + 3b^2 if and only if it has no prime factor congruent to 2 (mod 3) raised to an odd power.
A number can be written as a^2 + 7b^2 if and only if it has no prime factor congruent to 3 (mod 7) or 5 (mod 7) or 6 (mod 7) raised to an odd power, and the exponent of 2 is not 1.
Comment from N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 14 2012: S_1, S_2, S_3, S_7 are the first four quadratic forms with class number 1. (See Cox, for example.)
