%N Long legs in primitive Pythagorean triangles with three side lengths of composite integers.

%C The sequence collects the numbers B such that A^2+B^2=C^2, A<B<C, gcd(A,B,C)=1 and such that all

%C three of A, B and C are in A002808. If there are two or more triangles of this kind with the same B,

%C like (A,B,C) = (1003,1596,1885) and (A,B,C) = (1403,1596,2125), only one instance

%C of B is added to the sequence.

%e (A,B,C)=(33,56,65) contributes B=56 to the sequence. (A,B,C)=(16,63,65) contributes B=63 to the sequence.

%t lst={}; Do[Do[If[IntegerQ[c=Sqrt[a^2+b^2]] && GCD[a,b,c]==1,If[ !PrimeQ[a]&&!PrimeQ[b] && !PrimeQ[c], AppendTo[lst,b]]],{a,b-1,3,-1}], {b,4,2000,1}];Union@lst
