%N Smallest prime (p) of six consecutive primes (p,q,r,u,v,w) for which the conic section discriminant (Delta) is a perfect square.

%C Delta = pqr + 2uvw - pu^2 - qv^2 - rw^2 for the general conic section px^2 + qy^2 + rz^2 + 2uyz + 2vxz + 2wxy = 0.

%C Perfect squares of this form are quite rare, representing approximately 0.0048% of possible Delta values using consecutive prime number coefficients. (First 4 million primes tested.)

%e 48 = sqrt(2304) = pqr + 2uvw - pu^2 - qv^2 - rw^2 for (p,q,r,u,v,w) = (440653,440669,440677,440681,440683,440711), which are consecutive primes. Hence, 440653 is a member of the sequence.
