Illustration of a Schinzel circle

Schinzel circles are a set of circles with a given number of integer points on the circumference of the circle.

If the number n of points on the circumference of the circle is even, n = 2k, then a Schinzel circle is given by:

(x12)2+y2=145k1,

whereas for odd n = 2k + 1,

(x13)2+y2=1952k.
