%C A177021 13123110 is the smallest number which is the area of three primitive Pythagorean triangles, (1380,19019,19069)(3059,8580,9109) and (4485,5852,7373); this triple was found by Charles L. Shedd in 1945.
%C A177021 From _Sture Sjöstedt_, Dec 06 2016: (Start)
%C A177021 840 = 3*5*7*8; p=3, q=8, q-p=5, r=7 is a solution to p^2 - pq + q^2 = r^2. If r is a prime number in the sequence 7, 13, 19, ..., there are three Pythagorean triangles with the same area and at least one of them is primitive.
%C A177021 10920 = 7*8*13*15; p=7, q=15, q-p=8, r=13.
%C A177021 x^2 + 3*y^2 = 4*r^2 where r is a prime number in the sequence 7, 13, 19, ... gives lattice points that can be used to find solutions to p^2 - pq + q^2 = r^2. p, q, (q-p) and r are the y-coordinates in the first quadrant. (End)
