COMMENT

Fermat discovered, Gauss, Legendre, and [1813] Cauchy proved that every integer is the sum of 7 heptagonal numbers (and there are some numbers which require all 7, the smallest being 13). 7 is the only prime heptagonal number. Primes which are sums of two positive heptagonal numbers include: {19, 41, 73, 89, 113, 149, 167, 193, 223, 229, 269, 293, 337, 347, 367, 383, 521, ...}. Primes which are sums of three positive heptagonal numbers include: {3, 37, 43, 53, 59, 83, 89, 107, 131, 137, 149, 163, 167, 173, 191, 197, 211, 227, 241, 251, 257, 263, 271, ...}.

FORMULA

{a(n)} = {A000566} + {A000566} + {A000566} = {a*(5*a-3)/2 + b*(5*b-3)/2 + c*(5*c-3)/2} \ {A000566}.
