COMMENTS
A cyclotomic binary form over Z is a homogeneous polynomial in two variables which has the form f(x, y) = y^EulerPhi(k)*CyclotomicPolynomial(k, x/y) where k is some integer >= 3. An integer n is represented by f if f(x,y) = n has an integer solution.
There are only three prime numbers below 600000 which satisfy the given conditions. No prime number below 600000 exists which has more than one representation if we require a representation by odd prime numbers y < x.

EXAMPLE
33751 = f(131,79) for f(x,y) = x^2 + x*y + y^2.
33751 = f( 13, 2) for f(x,y) = x^4+x^3*y+x^2*y^2+x*y^3+y^4.
