Comments

These numbers provide solutions to the problem of finding (x,y) such that x(x+1) | y(y+1) but none of x or x+1 divides any of y or y+1. Namely, these solutions are given for (x,y) being members of the sequence such that x(x+1) divides y(y+1), the smallest of which are (14,20), (14,35), (20,35), ... but, e.g., (14,69) is excluded since 14 | 70.

Contains A074851 as a subsequence.
