# --description--
A positive integer matrix is a matrix whose elements are all positive integers.
Some positive integer matrices can be expressed as a square of a positive integer matrix in two different ways. Here is an example:
We define F(N) as the number of the 2x2 positive integer matrices which have a trace less than N and which can be expressed as a square of a positive integer matrix in two different ways. We can verify that F(50) = 7 and F(1000) = 1019.
Find F(107).
# --hints--
`euler420()` should return 145159332.
```js
assert.strictEqual(euler420(), 145159332);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function euler420() {
return true;
}
euler420();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
