How many Pythagorean triangles (primitive or not) can you find with hypotenuse 1105?
There are 13 such triangles
I will show you one or two with examples
Looking at 1105 = 221 x 5 = 13 x 17 x 5
We have 1105 = 221 x 5
We already know that there are triplets 21, 220, 221 and 140, 171, 221 with 221 as hypotenuse
Hence ...
