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

%C A328971(n) / a(n) should contain all reduced fractions between 1 and sqrt(2) + 1 without duplicates.

%C A328971(n) (numerators) 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 a(n) 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=13 we need the 13th primitive Pythagorean triangle:

%e 36,77,85

%e ^ ^ We calculate the difference between the two small numbers: 77-36=41.

%e ^ To get our numerator we subtract 41 from the hypotenuse length: 85-41=44.

%e ^ ^ Then we calculate the sum of the two small numbers: 36+77=113.

%e ^ We subtract 85 from this sum to get the denominator: 113-85=28.

%e This gives us the fraction 44/28 and in reduced form 11/7.

%Y Numerators: A328971.
