Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.
We have verified a(n) > 0 for all n = 1..5*10^6.
See also A338686 for a similar conjecture.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 with 1 = 0^4 + 1^2 + floor(2^2/7).
a(75) = 1 with 75 = 0^4 + 8^2 + floor(9^2/7).
a(1799) = 1 with 1799 = 5^4 + 25^2 + floor(62^2/7).
a(7224) = 1 with 7224 = 9^4 + 19^2 + floor(46^2/7).
a(27455) = 2 with 27455 = 0^4 + 7^2 + floor(438^2/7) = 8^4 + 118^2 + floor(257^2/7).
