COMMENT

a(n)=A001248(n+1)-A001248(n)=A000040(n+1)^2-A000040(n)^2=

=(A000040(n+1)-A000040(n))*(A000040(n+1)+A000040(n))=

=A001223(n)*A001043(n);

together with A069484(n) and A069486(n) a Pythagorean triangle is formed with area = A069487(n).

For n>2: A078701(a(n)) = 3.

Except for the first two terms, these numbers are divisible by 24. Let

p,q be consecutive primes. Then p > 3 = 3k+-1 and q = 3m+-1 and

(3k+-1)^2 - (3m+-1)^2 is divisible by 3. Similarly, p = 4k+-1 and q=4m+-1 and

(4k+-1)^2 - (4m+-1)^2 is divisible by 8. So 8 and 3 divide q^2-p^2 => 24

divides q^2-p^2. (End)

EXAMPLE

A000040(10)=29, A000040(10+1)=31, A001248(10)=841, A001248(10+1)=961, a(10)=961-841=120, A069486(10)=2*31*29=1798, A069484(10)=961+841=1802:

120^2 + 1798^ = 14400 + 3232804 = 3247204 = 1802^2.
