A280991 Positive integers that can be expressed as the sum of four pairwise coprime squares. 2

%I #18 Jan 17 2017 02:35:40

%N Positive integers that can be expressed as the sum of four pairwise coprime squares.

%C If n is in the sequence, then n == 0 or 1 mod 3 and n == 3, 4, or 7 mod 8. But the converse is not true: 100 and 268 are not in the sequence (are there other examples?).

%C Guy [op. cit.] quotes Paul Turan as asking for a characterization of the terms of this sequence. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 16 2017

%e 3 is in the sequence, since 3 is the sum of the squares of 0, 1, 1, 1 and these four numbers are pairwise coprime.

%e 7 is in the sequence, since 7 is the sum of the squares of 1, 1, 1, 2 and these four numbers are pairwise coprime.

%t f[A_]:=Module[{A2, La2},A2=Subsets[A,{2}];La2=Length[A2];Union[Table[GCD@@A2[[i]],{i,1,La2}]]=={1}];
