Let [itex]a, b,[/itex] and [itex] c[/itex] be positive integers such that:
[itex]\frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^2} = \frac{1}{c^2}[/itex]
Find the sum of all possible values of [itex]a[/itex] that are less than or equal to 100.
My shot at it:
I think may be that equation would also equals to a^2 + b^2 = c^2...
So may be a is the sum of all the pythagorean triples in this particular case. But I'm not really sure and I'm a bit stuck!
Please help
Thanks a lot
