Three integers a, b, c such that a2 + b2 = c2 are said to form a Pythagorean triple.

There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples.

Every Pythagorean triple has the form

a = m2 - n2,
b = 2mn,
c = m2 + n2

(possibly with a and b interchanged).

[Fermat's last theorem]? concerns a generalization of Pythagorean triples.
