Solve in positive integers for a² = 9555² + c²

[mente oscura]

Hello.

A simple question.Solve in all positive integers, for:

$$a^2=9555^2+c^2$$

Please, you show the way of solving it.

Regards.

$$a^2=9555^2+c^2$$
$$a^2-c^2=9555^2$$
$$(a-c)(a+c)=9555^2$$
If we let $f$ be a factor of $9555^2$, then we can let $a-c=f$ and $a+c=\frac{9555^2}{f}$, and $a=\frac{1}{2}(f+\frac{9555^2}{f})$. Now, since all the factors of $9555$ are odd, then $a$ will always be an integer. $9555$ has $24$ factors, hence there are $12$ possible pairs of $(a,c)$.

Re: Solve in positive integers for a^2=9555^2+c^2

Hey mente oscura, I feel like I want to attack this easy challenge problem!:p

Spoiler

First notice that $a^2=9555^2+c^2$ can be rewritten in the following form:

$a^2-c^2=9555^2$

$(a+c)(a-c)=9555^2$

Since $9555=3\cdot5\cdot7\cdot7\cdot13$, if we are to arrange this number into the product of two square numbers, we see that we can have a total of $3+3+1+3+1=11$ ways to do so.

Those 11 ways can be formulated in the following manner:

1. $(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot5)^2(7^2\cdot13)^2=15^2\cdot637^2=202997^2-202772^2$	$(a,c)=(202997, 202772)$
2. $(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot7)^2(5\cdot7\cdot13)^2=21^2\cdot455^2=103733^2-103292^2$	$(a,c)=(103733, 103292)$
3. $(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot13)^2(5\cdot7^2)^2=39^2\cdot245^2=30773^2-29252^2$	$(a,c)=(30773, 29252)$
4. $(a+c)(a-c)=(5\cdot7)^2(3\cdot7\cdot13)^2=35^2\cdot273^2=37877^2-36652^2$	$(a,c)=(37877, 36652)$
5. $(a+c)(a-c)=(5\cdot13)^2(3\cdot7^2)^2=65^2\cdot147^2=12917^2-8692^2$	$(a,c)=(12917, 8692)$
6. $(a+c)(a-c)=(7\cdot13)^2(3\cdot5\cdot7)^2=91^2\cdot105^2=9653^2-1372^2$	$(a,c)=(9653, 1372)$
7. $(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot5\cdot13)^2(7^2)^2=195^2\cdot49^2=20213^2-17812^2$	$(a,c)=(20213, 17812)$
8. $(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot5\cdot7\cdot7)^2(13)^2=735^2\cdot13^2=270197^2-270028^2$	$(a,c)=(270197, 270028)$
9. $(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot5\cdot7\cdot13)^2(7)^2=1365^2\cdot7^2=931637^2-931588^2$	$(a,c)=(931637, 931588)$
10. $(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot7\cdot7\cdot13)^2(5)^2=1911^2\cdot5^2=1825973^2-1825948^2$	$(a,c)=(1825973, 1825948)$
11. $(a+c)(a-c)=(5\cdot7\cdot7\cdot13)^2(3)^2=3185^2\cdot3^2=5072117^2-5072108^2$	$(a,c)=(5072117, 5072108)$

Edit: kaliprasad is so kind to inform me through PM that I missed to consider the number $1$ and hence missed out the case where

$(a+c)(a-c)=(3\cdot5\cdot7\cdot7\cdot13)^2(1)^2=9555^2\cdot1^2=45649013^2-45649012^2$ and the last solution set to the problem would be $(a,c)=(45649013, 45649012)$!

Thank you kaliprasad so much for your kind gesture!

$9555 = 3 * 5 * 7^2 * 13$
So $9555^2 = 3^2 * 5^2 * 7^4 * 13^2$
This has (2+1)(2+1)(4+1)(2+1) or 135 factors out of which one is 9555 and 67 are below 9555 and 67 are above 9555
(a + c) > 9555 and (a-c) < 9555 is a set of solution
So number of solutions 67
For a we need to take$ 3^x * 5^ y * 7 ^ z * 13^ m$ (x,y,z,m to be chosen based on limit for example x between 0 and 3 such that a > 9555) and for c it is $9555^2/a$

Sorry.

You two have the reason, there are absent Pythagorean compound numbers.

A restriction is absent in the terms of reference of the question, that asks for " primitive solutions ". And nonetheless, they would exceed 4 of the solutions that are compound.(4ª, 7ª, 8ª, 12ª)

Thousand excuses.
