  2. Pythagorean triple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_triple

    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 ...

  3. Boolean Pythagorean triples problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_Pythagorean...

    The problem asks if it is possible to color each of the positive integers either red or blue, so that no Pythagorean triple of integers a, b, c, satisfying + = are all the same color. For example, in the Pythagorean triple 3, 4, and 5 ( 3 2 + 4 2 = 5 2 {\displaystyle 3^{2}+4^{2}=5^{2}} ), if 3 and 4 are colored red, then 5 must be colored blue.

  4. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    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).

  5. Tree of primitive Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_primitive...

    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 ...

  6. Formulas for generating Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulas_for_generating...

    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.

  7. Fermat's Last Theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_Last_Theorem

    The Pythagorean equation, x 2 + y 2 = z 2, has an infinite number of positive integer solutions for x, y, and z; these solutions are known as Pythagorean triples (with the simplest example being 3, 4, 5).

  8. Ramsey theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey_theory

    Graham's number, one of the largest numbers ever used in serious mathematical proof, is an upper bound for a problem related to Ramsey theory. Another large example is the Boolean Pythagorean triples problem. [3] Theorems in Ramsey theory are generally one of the following two types.

  9. Crossed ladders problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_ladders_problem

    The problem may be reduced to the quartic equation x 3 (x − c) − 1 = 0, which can be solved by approximation methods, as suggested by Gardner, or the quartic may be solved in closed form by Ferrari's method. Once x is obtained, the width of the alley is readily calculated. A derivation of the quartic is given below, along with the desired ...
