A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers satisfying . It is primitive when their greatest common divisor is one. Reducing their square numbers modulo shows that at least one leg is divisible by ; reducing modulo shows that both legs cannot be odd.
A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) that satisfy the equation \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] In this equation, \(c\) represents the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, while \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the other two sides.
