# --description--

Let f(n) = n2 - 3n - 1.

Let p be a prime.

Let R(p) be the smallest positive integer n such that f(n) mod p2 = 0 if such an integer n exists, otherwise R(p) = 0.

Let SR(L) be ∑R(p) for all primes not exceeding L.

Find SR(107).

# --hints--

`euler457()` should return 2647787126797397000.

```js
assert.strictEqual(euler457(), 2647787126797397000);
```
