Question

A Pythagorean triple is said to be "primitive" if the greatest common divisor a,b and c is 1. Use trial and error to find a primitive pythagorean triple other than (3,4,5)

Answer 1

Another Pythagorean triple is (5, 12, 13) since 52+122=132

the divisors of 5: 1, 5

the divisors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

the divisors of 13: 1, 13

So the greatest common divisor is 1

Okay hope this helped
