Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Indices of centered heptagonal numbers (A069099) which are also centered triangular numbers (A005448).
%C Also positive integers y in the solutions to 3*x^2 - 7*y^2 - 3*x + 7*y = 0, the corresponding values of x being A253476.
