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