Sequence is infinite; two infinite "families" of such numbers n are:

(a) n = 8_(k)75_(k)6, 2 * n + 1 = 17_(k)51_(k)3, N = 2 * 6_(k+1)16_(k-1)7,

(b) n = 2_(k+1)8_(k)9, 2 * n + 1 = 4_(k)57_(k)9, N = 6_(k)76_(k)7, (k = 1, 2, ...)

List of (2*n+1)//n = N^2:

59//29 = 7^2 x 11^2, 153//76 = 2^4 x 31^2, 4579//2289 = 67^2 x 101^2,

7593//3796 = 2^2 x 4357^2, 12739//6369 = 11287^2, 17513//8756 = 2^2 x 13^2 x 509^2,

33473//16736 = 2^18 x 113^2, 39393//19696 = 2^4 x 13^2 x 17^2 x 71^2, 49801//24900,

56969//28484 = 2^2 x 13^2 x 2903^2, 155059//77529 = 7^2 x 17789^2, 167523//83761 = 347^2 x 373^2,

188339//94169 = 19^2 x 31^2 x 233^2, 445779//222889 = 7^2 x 11^2 x 13^2 x 23^2 x 29^2,

1775113//887556 = 2^2 x 666167^2, 44457779//22228889 = 59^2 x 73^2 x 113^2 x 137^2,

177751113//88875556 = 2^2 x 66661667 ^ 2, 225189283//112594641 = 23^2 x 83^2 x 331^2 x 751^2,

737524051//368762025 = 5^2 x 2161^2 x 79481^2, 1302355233//651177616 = 2^4 x 285301949^2

Examples

			n = 29 is a term: 2 * n + 1 = 59, 5929 = 59//29 = 77^2 is a perfect square.
n = 6369 is a term: 2 * n + 1 = 12739. 12739//6369 = 11287^2 is a perfect square.
