Pythagorean Triples Calculator
The applet below makes use of the three parameter family of formulas for the pythagorean triples
| |
a = (N2 - M2)·k,
b = 2NM·k,
c = (N2 + M2)·k.
|
N is supposed to be greater than M so that a is always positive. For k = 1, the numbers a, b, c may be mutualy prime, in which case the triple (a, b, c) is called primitive.
