%N Ordered hypotenuses of primitive Pythagorean triangles, A008846, which are not hypotenuses of non-primitive Pythagorean triangles with any shorter legs.

%C Hypotenuses of primitive Pythagorean triangles are shown in A008846 and A020882, and may also be hypotenuses of non-primitive Pythagorean triangles (see A009177, A118882). The sequence contains those hypotenuses of A008846 where in the set of Pythagorean triangles with this hypotenuse the one with the shortest leg is a primitive one.

%C This ordering first on hypotenuses, then filtering on the shortest legs, and then selecting the primitive triangles removes 125, 169, 205, 289, 305, 425, etc. from A008846.

%e The hypotenuse 25 appears in the triangle 25^2 = 7^2 + 24^2 (primitive) and in the triangle 25^2 = 15^2 + 20^2 (non-primitive). The triangle with the shortest leg (here: 7) is primitive, so 25 is in the sequence.

%e The hypotenuse 125 appears in the triangles 125^2 = 35^2 + 120^2 (non-primitive), 125^2 = 44^2 + 117^2 (primitive), 125^2 = 75^2 + 100^2 (non-primitive). The case with the shortest leg (here: 35) of these 3 is not primitive, so 125 is not in the sequence.

%t f[n_]:=Module[{k=1},While[(n-k^2)^(1/2)!=IntegerPart[(n-k^2)^(1/2)],k++; If[2*k^2>=n,k=0;Break[]]];k]; lst1={};Do[If[f[n^2]>0,a=f[n^2];b=(n^2-a^2)^(1/ 2);If[GCD[n,a,b]==1,AppendTo[lst1,n]]],{n,3,6!}];lst1
