A328971 Numerator of the fraction (hypotenuse - difference of legs) / (sum of legs - hypotenuse) of the n-th primitive Pythagorean triangle. 2

%S 2,3,5,4,7,7,5,9,6,7,9,11,11,7,8,9,11,13,8,13,15,13,9,10,11,12,15,10,

%N Numerator of the fraction (hypotenuse - difference of legs) / (sum of legs - hypotenuse) of the n-th primitive Pythagorean triangle.

%C a(n) / A328972(n) should contain all reduced fractions between 1 and sqrt(2) + 1 without duplicates.

%C a(n) is built from the difference between the length of the hypotenuse (A020882) and the difference between the two legs (A120682) of the n-th primitive Pythagorean triangle.

%C A328972(n) (denominators) is built from the difference between the sum of the length of the legs (A120681) and the hypotenuse of the n-th primitive Pythagorean triangle.

%C Then both numbers are divided by their GCD to get the reduced fraction.

%C All primitive Pythagorean triangles are sorted first on hypotenuse, then on long leg.

%e For n=2 we need the 2nd primitive Pythagorean triangle:

%e 5,12,13

%e ^ ^ We calculate the difference between the two small numbers: 12-5=7.

%e ^ And to get our numerator we subtract 7 from the hypotenuse length: 13-7=6.

%e ^ ^ Then we calculate the sum of the two small numbers: 5+12=17.

%e ^ We subtract 13 from this sum to get the denominator: 17-13=4.

%e This gives us the fraction 6/4, and in reduced form 3/2.

%Y Denominators: A328972.
