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”).

A343893
Side c of integer-sided primitive triangles (a, b, c) where side a is the harmonic mean of the 2 other sides b and c, i.e., 2/a = 1/b + 1/c with b < a < c.

COMMENTS
The triples (a, b, c) are displayed in increasing order of side a, and if sides a coincide then in increasing order of the side b.
The sequence is not increasing because a(4) = 35 > a(5) = 28, but, these sides c are listed in increasing order in A020886.
For the corresponding primitive triples and miscellaneous properties and references, see A343891.
FORMULA
a(n) = A343891(n, 3).
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 20, because the third triple is (15, 12, 20) with side c = 20, satisfying 1/20 = 2/15 - 1/12 and 15-12 < 20 < 15+12.
MAPLE
for a from 4 to 200 do
for b from floor(a/2)+1 to a-1 do
c := a*b/(2*b-a);
if c=floor(c) and igcd(a, b, c)=1 and c-b<a then print(c); end if;
end do;
end do;
