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 :

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
