Integer solutions of $ z^3 y^2 = x(x-1)(x+1)$
According to a conjecture there are no three
consecutive powerful numbers.
Necessary condition for this is integer solution of
$$ z^3 y^2 = x(x-1)(x+1) \qquad (1) $$
What are integer solutions of ...

Counting factors: is this approach in the literature on multiperfect numbers?
Does the following approach (or something near it) exist in the number theory
literature?
I will provide some motivation for $\omega(p^n - 1)$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$
and for this question. First, ...
