Row 3: 2, 5, 22 generates these A131655(3)=89 distinct rational numbers: -108, -100, -66, -39, -34, -25, -108/5, -20, -39/2, -19, -17, -15, -12, -17/2, -22/3, -6, -54/11, -4, -3, -12/5, -39/22, -1/4, -3/22, -2/17, 1/55, 2/27, 1/11, 5/44, 2/17, 3/22, 5/24, 5/22, 1/4, 7/22, 2/5, 5/11, 39/22, 2, 11/5, 49/22, 12/5, 5/2, 3, 22/7, 4, 22/5, 24/5, 54/11, 5, 56/11, 6, 32/5, 7, 22/3, 17/2, 44/5, 10, 11, 12, 27/2, 15, 16, 17, 19, 39/2, 20, 108/5, 22, 112/5, 24, 49/2, 25, 27, 29, 32, 34, 39, 44, 49, 54, 55, 66, 100, 108, 110, 112, 120, 154, 220. No smaller sequence of three positive integers generates this many distinct results. Triangle begins: 1; 2, 3; 2, 5, 22; 2, 5, 22, 309; 2, 5, 22, 309, 10431; ...
