Enumerating ways to decompose an integer into the sum of two squares
I wouldn't mind an elaboration on Gerry's hints. For example, N=5*5*13*13*17*17 is going to have 13 representations. What variants of x +/- yi are we multiplying together to come up with those? In Gerry's example, how come we don't look at (2-i) as a term and end up with 8 representations?
