[[Euclid]]'s formula is a fundamental formula for generating all possible Pythagorean triples given an arbitrary pair of integers <math>m</math> and <math>n</math> with <math>m>n>0</math>. The formula states that the following integers form a Pythagorean triple:
 +
:<math> a=m^2-n^2,\ \,b=2mn,\ \,c=m^2+n^2</math>
 +
There are many other formulas for generating such triples.
