%N a(n) is the number of large or small squares that are used to tile primitive squares of type 1 whose length of side is A344333(n).

%C Some notations: s = side of the tiled squares, a = side of small squares, b = side of large squares, and z = number of small squares = number of large squares.

%C Every term is of the form z = (a*b)^2 * (a^2+b^2) with gcd(a, b) = 1.

%C Every primitive square is composed of m = a*b * (a^2+b^2) elementary rectangles of length L = a^2+b^2 and width W = a*b, so with an area A = a*b * (a^2+b^2) = m.

%C This sequence is not increasing: a(9) = 2450 < a(8) = 3600.

%C Every term is even.

%C If a = 1 and b = n > 1, then number of squares z = n^2 * (n^2+1) is in A071253 \ {0,2}.
