==Examples== <!--Please DO NOT add any triples of the form ka, kb, kc where a, b, and c are integers and k > 1. Please note the definition of a primitive Pythagorean triple, one in which the terms are relatively prime.--> [[File:Pythagorean Triples Scatter Plot.png|thumb|[[Scatter plot]] of the legs ({{math|''a''}}, {{math|''b''}}) of the first Pythagorean triples with {{math|''a''}} and {{math|''b''}} less than 6000. Negative values are included to illustrate the parabolic patterns. The "rays" are a result of the fact that if {{math|(''a'', ''b'', ''c'')}} is a Pythagorean triple, then so is {{math|(2''a'', 2''b'', 2''c'')}}, {{math|(3''a'', 3''b'', 3''c'')}} and, more generally, {{math|(''ka'', ''kb'', ''kc'')}} for any positive integer {{math|''k''}}.]] There are 16 primitive Pythagorean triples of numbers up to 100: {| style="margin:auto;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (3, 4, 5) |style="padding:0 1em"| (5, 12, 13) |style="padding:0 1em"| (8, 15, 17) |style="padding:0 1em"| (7, 24, 25) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (20, 21, 29) |style="padding:0 1em"| (12, 35, 37) |style="padding:0 1em"| (9, 40, 41) |style="padding:0 1em"| (28, 45, 53) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (11, 60, 61) |style="padding:0 1em"| (16, 63, 65) |style="padding:0 1em"| (33, 56, 65) |style="padding:0 1em"| (48, 55, 73) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (13, 84, 85) |style="padding:0 1em"| (36, 77, 85) |style="padding:0 1em"| (39, 80, 89) |style="padding:0 1em"| (65, 72, 97) |} Other small Pythagorean triples such as (6, 8, 10) are not listed because they are not primitive; for instance (6, 8, 10) is a multiple of (3, 4, 5). Each of these points (with their multiples) forms a radiating line in the scatter plot to the right. Additionally, these are the remaining primitive Pythagorean triples of numbers up to 300: {| style="margin:auto;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (20, 99, 101) |style="padding:0 1em"| (60, 91, 109) |style="padding:0 1em"| (15, 112, 113) |style="padding:0 1em"| (44, 117, 125) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (88, 105, 137) |style="padding:0 1em"| (17, 144, 145) |style="padding:0 1em"| (24, 143, 145) |style="padding:0 1em"| (51, 140, 149) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (85, 132, 157) |style="padding:0 1em"| (119, 120, 169) |style="padding:0 1em"| (52, 165, 173) |style="padding:0 1em"| (19, 180, 181) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (57, 176, 185) |style="padding:0 1em"| (104, 153, 185) |style="padding:0 1em"| (95, 168, 193) |style="padding:0 1em"| (28, 195, 197) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (84, 187, 205) |style="padding:0 1em"| (133, 156, 205) |style="padding:0 1em"| (21, 220, 221) |style="padding:0 1em"| (140, 171, 221) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (60, 221, 229) |style="padding:0 1em"| (105, 208, 233) |style="padding:0 1em"| (120, 209, 241) |style="padding:0 1em"| (32, 255, 257) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (23, 264, 265) |style="padding:0 1em"| (96, 247, 265) |style="padding:0 1em"| (69, 260, 269) |style="padding:0 1em"| (115, 252, 277) |- style="text-align:right;" |style="padding:0 1em"| (160, 231, 281) |style="padding:0 1em"| (161, 240, 289) |style="padding:0 1em"| (68, 285, 293) |}
