Comments

This sequence was inspired by the flag of the United States. The 50 stars are placed in a rectangular grid with outside dimensions six stars wide by five stars high, but they could also be placed in a grid 17 stars wide by two stars high. This sequence lists, up to 200 stars, all numbers of stars that could be placed in a rectangular field in more than one arrangement.
This is the ordered list of integers that appear several times in A144650.
R(n,m) = n*m + (n-1)*(m-1) = (m-1)*(2*n-1) + n == n (mod (2*n-1)), and also with n interchanged with m. See A244418 for the table a(n,m) = R(n,m) for n >= m >= 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 10 2014

Examples

			23 = 8*2 + 7*1 = 5*3 +4*2.
32 = 11*2 + 10*1 = 5*4 + 4*3.
The first triple solution is 53 = 18*2 + 17*1 = 11*3 + 10*2 = 8*4 + 7*3.

Crossrefs

The sequence A186041 lists all possible solutions, including single ones, and has four additional terms at the start. The sequence A140646 also refers to the Stars-and-Stripes, but gives the history, not the geometry of the current arrangement.
Cf. also A144650, with all values organized by rows (but with different offset).
Cf. A053726, A244418.
