amenable numbers
A number  $n$  is said to be amenable if there exist  $n$  numbers  $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$  in  $\mathbb{Z}$  such that  $\sum_k a_k = \prod_k a_k$, i.e., their sum is equal to their product.

For example, 8 is amenable because the 8 numbers {-1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4} have the same sum and product.

O. P. Lossers proved that  $n$  is amenable if and only if  $n\neq4$  and it is of the form  $4k$  or  $4k+1$.

The first amenable numbers are 1, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, 21, 24, 25, 28, 29, 32, 33 more terms
