COMMENTS
No prime factor of a(n)^2 + 1 is of the form 4*k + 3. - David A. Corneth, Mar 19 2026
a(28) <= 2280635557. - David A. Corneth, Mar 21 2026
EXAMPLE
993 is in this sequence because 993^2 + 1 = 986050 which has 48 divisors, and there is no number k between 1 and 992 where k^2 + 1 has >= 48 divisors.
PROG
(PARI) print1(r=1); for(n=3, 1e5, if(numdiv(n^2+1)>r, r=numdiv(n^2+1); print1(", "n)))
