Find all Pythagorean triangles with length or height less than or equal to 20
Pythagorean triangles are right angle triangles whose sides comply with the following equation:
a * a + b * b = c * c
where c represents the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b represent the lengths of the other two sides. Find all such triangles where a, b and c are non-zero integers with a and b less than or equal to 20. Sort your results by the size of the hypotenuse. The expected answer is:
a * a + b * b = c * c
where c represents the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b represent the lengths of the other two sides. Find all such triangles where a, b and c are non-zero integers with a and b less than or equal to 20. Sort your results by the size of the hypotenuse. The expected answer is:
[3, 4, 5]
[6, 8, 10]
[5, 12, 13]
[9, 12, 15]
[8, 15, 17]
[12, 16, 20]
[15, 20, 25]

Greatest Common Divisor
Find the largest positive integer that divides two given numbers without a remainder. For example, the GCD of 8 and 12 is 4.
