A triple
of positive integers satisfying
is said to be geometric if
. 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
.
