Animation demonstrating the smallest Pythagorean triple, 3 2 + 4 2 = 5 2. A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a 2 + b 2 = c 2. Such a triple is commonly written (a, b, c), a well-known example is (3, 4, 5). If (a, b, c) is a Pythagorean triple, then so is (ka, kb, kc) for any positive integer k.
The harmonic mean of a set of positive integers is the number of numbers times the reciprocal of the sum of their reciprocals. The optic equation requires the sum of the reciprocals of two positive integers a and b to equal the reciprocal of a third positive integer c. All solutions are given by a = mn + m 2, b = mn + n 2, c = mn.
A positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers. A138591: Erdős–Nicolas numbers: 24, 2016, 8190, 42336, 45864 ...
A Young diagram representing visually a polite expansion 15 = 4 + 5 + 6. In number theory, a polite number is a positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers.
Legendre's three-square theorem states which numbers can be expressed as the sum of three squares; Jacobi's four-square theorem gives the number of ways that a number can be represented as the sum of four squares. For the number of representations of a positive integer as a sum of squares of k integers, see Sum of squares function.
For integer k ≥ 3, an AP-k (also called PAP-k) is any sequence of k primes in arithmetic progression. An AP-k can be written as k primes of the form a·n + b, for fixed integers a (called the common difference) and b, and k consecutive integer values of n. An AP-k is usually expressed with n = 0 to k − 1.
In mathematics and statistics, sums of powers occur in a number of contexts: . Sums of squares arise in many contexts. For example, in geometry, the Pythagorean theorem involves the sum of two squares; in number theory, there are Legendre's three-square theorem and Jacobi's four-square theorem; and in statistics, the analysis of variance involves summing the squares of quantities.
1553 = 509 + 521 + 523 = a prime that is the sum of three consecutive primes [336] 1554 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 37 = product of four distinct primes [337] 1555 2 divides 6 1554 [338] 1556 = sum of the squares of the first nine primes; 1557 = number of graphs with 8 nodes and 13 edges [339] 1558 = number k such that k 64 + 1 is prime; 1559 = Sophie ...
