%N A014544 Numbers k such that a cube can be divided into k subcubes.
%C A014544 If m and j are in the sequence, so is m+j-1, since j-dissecting one cube in an m-dissection gives an (m+j-1)-dissection. 1, 8, 20, 38, 49, 51, 54 are in the sequence because of dissections corresponding to the equations 1^3 = 1^3, 2^3 = 8*1^3, 3^3 = 2^3 + 19*1^3, 4^3 = 3^3 + 37*1^3, 6^3 = 4*3^3 + 9*2^3 + 36*1^3, 6^3 = 5*3^3 + 5*2^3 + 41*1^3 and 8^3 = 6*4^3 + 2*3^3 + 4*2^3 + 42*1^3.
%C A014544 Combining these facts gives the remaining terms shown and all numbers > 47.
%C A014544 It may or may not have been shown that no other numbers occur - see Hickerson link.
