A Pythagorean triple can be generated using any two positive integers by the following procedures using generalized Fibonacci sequences. For initial positive integers h n and h n+1, if h n + h n+1 = h n+2 and h n+1 + h n+2 = h n+3, then (+ +, +, + + +) is a Pythagorean triple.
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, 392448, 714240, 1571328, ... A number n such that there exists another number m and , =. A194472: Solution to Stepping Stone Puzzle
Since it is possible to find sequences of 36 consecutive integers such that each inner member shares a factor with either the first or the last member, 36 is an Erdős–Woods number. [11] The sum of the integers from 1 to 36 is 666 (see number of the beast). 36 is also a Tridecagonal number. [12]
In number theory and combinatorics, a partition of a non-negative integer n, also called an integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition.
A composite number is a positive integer that can be formed by multiplying two smaller positive integers. Accordingly it is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Every positive integer is composite, prime , or the unit 1, so the composite numbers are exactly the numbers that are not prime and not ...
Pythagorean triples are sets of three integers such that the sum of the squares of the first two equals the square of the third. A Pythagorean prime is a prime that is the sum of two squares; Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares states which primes are Pythagorean primes.
A pronic number is a number that is the product of two consecutive integers, that is, a number of the form (+). [1] The study of these numbers dates back to Aristotle.They are also called oblong numbers, heteromecic numbers, [2] or rectangular numbers; [3] however, the term "rectangular number" has also been applied to the composite numbers.
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.
