## Description
<section id='description'>
Consider the number 3600. It is very special, because
3600 = 482 +     362
3600 = 202 + 2×402
3600 = 302 + 3×302
3600 = 452 + 7×152
Similarly, we find that 88201 = 992 + 2802 = 2872 + 2×542 = 2832 + 3×522 = 1972 + 7×842.
In 1747, Euler proved which numbers are representable as a sum of two squares.
We are interested in the numbers n which admit representations of all of the following four types:
n = a12 +   b12n = a22 + 2 b22n = a32 + 3 b32n = a72 + 7 b72,
where the ak and bk are positive integers.
There are 75373 such numbers that do not exceed 107.
How many such numbers are there that do not exceed 2×109?
