== Generating triples when one side is known ==
This section is wrong so someone should fix it:) Euclid's formula is designed to generate only primitive triples, but the text claims that it will generate all of them. Omitting the restriction that m and n should be coprime allows some non-primitive triples to be generated, but not all of them. E.g. in the example given with b = 24, (18, 24, 30) and various others are missed. In order to generate all possible triples, the factor k as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_triple#Generating_a_triple needs to be included. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/97.77.50.20|97.77.50.20]] ([[User talk:97.77.50.20|talk]]) 04:30, 7 February 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
