%N Lengths of longest legs of Pythagorean triangles corresponding to a record number of such triangles.

%C Indices of record values in A056137.

%e For a right triangle with longest leg of 60, the lengths other sides are: 11,25,32,45. The corresponding hypotenuses are: 61,65,68,75. All triangles with a longest leg of less than 60 have 3 or fewer triangles.
