A261657 Numbers with 3 prime factors a < b < c such that 2c = a^4 + b^2. 3

%N Numbers with 3 prime factors a < b < c such that 2c = a^4 + b^2.

%C This sequence is interesting as a less constrained form of A261656, or as a 3-prime-factored form of A261658.

%C Unlike A261656, this sequence has many examples of the b and c of one member being the a and b of another. Two such members of this sequence are 3333=3*11*101 and 13799731 = 11*101*12421. This lets us consider a four factor composite number using both, giving 3*11*101*12421 = 41399193. The sequence of four-factor composites such as this is A261658.

%C It would be nice to know if, in general, analogous n-factor composites exist.

%e The prime factors of 795 are 3, 5, and 53. 3^4=81, 5^2=25, and the average of 81 and 25 gives 53. Thus, 795 is a member.

%e The prime factors of 3333 are 3, 11, and 101. 3^4=81, 11^2=121, and the average of 81 and 121 gives 101. Thus, 3333 is a member.
