==Cubefree taxicab numbers== A more restrictive taxicab problem requires that the taxicab number be [[cubefree]], which means that it is not divisible by any cube other than 1<sup>3</sup>. When a cubefree taxicab number {{mvar|T}} is written as {{math|1=''T'' = ''x''<sup>3</sup> + ''y''<sup>3</sup>}}, the numbers {{mvar|x}} and {{mvar|y}} must be [[relatively prime]]. Among the taxicab numbers {{math|Ta(''n'')}} listed above, only {{math|Ta(1)}} and {{math|Ta(2)}} are cubefree taxicab numbers. The smallest cubefree taxicab number with three representations was discovered by [[Paul Vojta]] (unpublished) in 1981 while he was a graduate student: <math display=block>\begin{align} 15170835645 &= 517^3 + 2468^3 \\ &= 709^3 + 2456^3 \\ &= 1733^3 + 2152^3 \end{align}</math> The smallest cubefree taxicab number with four representations was discovered by Stuart Gascoigne and independently by Duncan Moore in 2003: <math display=block> \begin{align} 1801049058342701083 &= 92227^3 + 1216500^3 \\ &= 136635^3 + 1216102^3 \\ &= 341995^3 + 1207602^3 \\ &= 600259^3 + 1165884^3 \end{align}</math> {{OEIS|id=A080642}}.
