4104 and 13832

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of number is known as the Hardy-Ramanujan Number.

We have that 1729 is the first number where this is found, but there are others. The second number that meets this is:

4104

2 ^ 3 + 16 ^ 3 = 9 ^ 3 + 15 ^ 3

And we also have:

13832

18 ^ 3 + 20 ^ 3 = 2 ^ 3 + 24 ^ 3

That is to say, the numbers 4104 and 13832 comply with this property
