S001000


Triples (x,y,z) with 1 < x < y < z such that x! y! z! is a square.

3, 5, 6, 4, 5, 6, 2, 7, 8, 2, 7, 9, 6, 7, 10, 2, 17, 18, 6, 19, 20, 3, 23, 24, 4, 23, 24, 3, 23, 25, 4, 23, 25, 5, 29, 30, 10, 27, 28, 2, 31, 32, 7, 34, 35, 7, 34, 36, 6, 44, 45, 3, 47, 50, 2, 48, 50, 4, 47, 50, 2, 49, 50, 3, 53, 54, 4, 53, 54, 10, 62, 63

S001000

This is similar to A226798, which allows x = 1. See S001001, S001002, and S001003 for subsets of this sequence. This sequence has all the triples with z - y <= 3.

Example: (3,5,6) is here because 3! 5! 6! = 518400 = (720)^2.
