Let S = {p_1, p_2, ..., p_n} be a finite set of prime numbers. A positive integer S-unit is a positive integer x such that x = p_1^k_1 * p_2^k_2 * ... * p_n^k_n for some nonnegative integers k_1, k_2, ..., k_n.
Thus a(n) is the number of positive integer triples (a,b,c) such that a + b = c, gcd(a,b,c) = 1, a <= b < c and v_p(a) = v_p(b) = v_p(c) = 0 for all primes p greater than prime(n), i.e., the primes dividing a, b or c are some subset of the first n prime numbers.
Mahler (1933) first proved that a(n) is finite for all n, with effective bounds first given by Györy (1979).

			For n = 2, the a(2) = 4 solutions are 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 1 + 3 = 4, and 1 + 8 = 9.
For n = 3, the a(3) = 17 solutions are 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 1 + 3 = 4, 1 + 4 = 5, 1 + 5 = 6, 1 + 8 = 9, 1 + 9 = 10, 1 + 15 = 16, 1 + 24 = 25, 1 + 80 = 81, 2 + 3 = 5, 2 + 25 = 27, 3 + 5 = 8, 3 + 125 = 128, 4 + 5 = 9, 5 + 27 = 32, and 9 + 16 = 25.
