Assuming the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, determining whether a number n is congruent requires counting the solutions to a pair of equations. For odd n, see A072068 and A072069; for even n see A072070 and A072071. The Mathematica program for this sequence uses variables defined in A072068, A072069, A072070, A072071. - T. D. Noe, Jun 13 2002

EXAMPLE
|
6 is congruent because 6 is the area of the right triangle with sides 3,4,5. It is a primitive congruent number because it is squarefree.
