Question 4 - Page 49 If (a, b, c) is non-primitive, and the integers have f β greater than 1 β as a common factor, then is (π/π, π/π, π/π ) a BaudhΔyana triple? Check this statement for (9, 12, 15). Justify this statement.Yes. We are just scaling down instead of up. Example: For (9, 12, 15), the common factor π=π. Scaling down (π/π,ππ/π,ππ/π)=(π, π ,π) And we already know (3,4,5) is a valid triple.
