The pair of natural numbers (d,e) is said to be a pair of primitive twin divisors of a natural number m when d*e = m and gcd(d,e) = 1.
Given two prime numbers p and q (p<q), as the only pairs of primitive twin divisors of (p*q)^2 are (1,p^2*q^2) and (p^2,q^2), then, the only primitive Pythagorean triples with a short leg equal to p*q are (p*q,(p^2*q^2-1)/2,(p^2*q^2+1)/2) and (p*q,(q^2-p^2)/2,(q^2+p^2)/2), being (p*q,(p^2*q^2-1)/2,(p^2*q^2+1)/2) the only one that has consecutive long leg and hypotenuse.
