. We're sorry about the hassle.
See that a 2 = c 2 − b 2 .
∴ 8 5 7 2 = ( c + b ) ( c − b )
But as b , c are positive integers, none of them is zero, and 8 5 7 is a prime number.
Hence the only way in which we can factorize the number 8 5 7 2 into two different integer factors, is 8 5 7 2 × 1
∴ c + b = 8 5 7 2 = 7 3 4 4 4 9 , c − b = 1
∴ b = 3 6 7 2 2 4 , c = 3 6 7 2 2 5
Required answer is 2 c + b c = c ( 2 + b ) = 3 6 7 2 2 5 × 3 6 7 2 2 6 = 1 3 4 8 5 4 5 6 7 8 5 0
