%N Triangle giving the area of primitive Pythagorean triangles, with zero entries for non-primitive triangles.

%C See A249866 for comments and references.

%C For the sorted areas of all primitive Pythagorean triangles (x, y, z) with, say y even, see A024406.

%C Note that in a row > N there may appear smaller numbers than the maximal number up to row N. Therefore the sorted nonvanishing numbers up to a given row N will in general not produce a subsequence of A024406. The minimal areas in rows n = 2..20 are 6, 30, 60, 180, 210, 546, 504, 1224, 990, 2310, 1716, 3900, 2730, 6090, 4080, 8976, 5814, 12654, 7980. For example, one has to go up to row n = 16 to cover all areas <= 4080.

%C See the link for more details on a safe row number n = N to cover all areas not exceeding a given one, and also for all areas <= 10^6 with their squarefree parts. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 25 2016
