Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Consider primitive Heronian triangles with integer area and with sides {m, m+1, c}, where c > m+1. The sequence gives the possible values of m.

%N Consider primitive Heronian triangles with integer area and with sides {m, m+1, c}, where c > m+1. The sequence gives the possible values of m.

%C Corresponding values of c are 5, 17, 15, 37, 29, 65, 101, 109, 145.

%C And corresponding values of area/6 are 1, 6, 14, 19, 35, 44, 85, 330, 146, 231, 1190.

%C The sequence includes all terms of A016064 (where c = m+2) except for the first term, 1 (case with zero area).

%C Note that in all cases c is odd and m+2 <= c < 2m+1.

%e First triangle has sides (3,4,5) and area 6.

%e 2nd triangle has sides (9,10,17) and area 36.

%e 3rd triangle has sides (13,14,15) and area 84.
