A primitive Pythagorean triple is one in which a, b and c are coprime (that is, they have no common divisor larger than 1). [1] For example, (3, 4, 5) is a primitive Pythagorean triple whereas (6, 8, 10) is not. Every Pythagorean triple can be scaled to a unique primitive Pythagorean triple by dividing (a, b, c) by their greatest common divisor ...
Wade and Wade [17] first introduced the categorization of Pythagorean triples by their height, defined as c − b, linking 3,4,5 to 5,12,13 and 7,24,25 and so on. McCullough and Wade [18] extended this approach, which produces all Pythagorean triples when k > h √ 2 /d: Write a positive integer h as pq 2 with p square-free and q positive.
A tree of primitive Pythagorean triples is a mathematical tree in which each node represents a primitive Pythagorean triple and each primitive Pythagorean triple is represented by exactly one node. In two of these trees, Berggren's tree and Price's tree, the root of the tree is the triple (3,4,5), and each node has exactly three children ...
A Pythagorean triple has three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a 2 + b 2 = c 2. In other words, a Pythagorean triple represents the lengths of the sides of a right triangle where all three sides have integer lengths. [1] Such a triple is commonly written (a, b, c). Some well-known examples are (3, 4, 5) and (5, 12, 13).

[4] [6] The first three of these define the primitive Pythagorean triples (the ones in which the two sides and hypotenuse have no common factor), derive the standard formula for generating all primitive Pythagorean triples, compute the inradius of Pythagorean triangles, and construct all triangles with sides of length at most 100. [6]
For every prime number p for which p mod 4 = 1 and for each positive integer n the hypotenuse c = p n occurs in exactly one primitive Pythagorean triple with a < b < c. More generally, if c = p 1 n 1... p k n k is the product of k such values (with distinct values p 1, ..., p k) then there are exactly 2 k − 1 such primitive Pythagorean
