A294177 List of positive integer triples (b,c,d) where b > c > d are coprime and 1/b^2 + 1/c^2 + 1/d^2 = 1/r^2 and r is rational, ordered by b then c. 1

COMMENTS
It seems that all integers occur.
b, c, d cannot all be odd (see (8, 2, 1) for example).
Also: coprime triples (b, c, d), all different, such that (bc)^2 + (bd)^2 + (cd)^2 is a square. As squares are 0 or 1 mod 4, we can use this expression to prove that at least one element of the triples must be even. As b, c and d are coprime, at most two elements of the triples are even. - David A. Corneth, Feb 11 2018

1/3^2 + 1/2^2 + 1/1^2 = 1/(6/7)^2.

lst = AppendTo[lst, {b, c, d}]]], {d, c - 1}], {c, b - 1}], {b, n}]; lst//Flatten
