Abstract
In this note, we prove by using T. Estermann's and S. Dimitrov's arguments with an elementary inequality that there are infinitely many for which all of the numbers and are squarefree. We also improve the error term slightly in the case of two consecutive numbers of the same form, so that we are able to prove the following asymptotic formula. \begin{align*} \sum_{n\le X}\mu^2(n^2+1)\mu^2(n^2+2)\mu^2(n^2+3)\sim\dfrac{7}{18}\prod_{p>3}\left(1-\dfrac{3+\left(\frac{-1}{p}\right)+\left(\frac{-2}{p}\right)+\left(\frac{-3}{p}\right)}{p^2}\right)X. \end{align*}
