A triple
of positive integers satisfying
is said to be harmonic if
In particular, such a triple is harmonic if the reciprocals of its terms form an arithmetic sequence with
common difference where
One can show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of equivalence
classes of harmonic triples and the set of equivalence classes of geometric
triples where here, two triples and
are said to be equivalent
if
,
i.e., if there exists some positive real
number
such that
.
