if a ≠ b ≠ 0, is there any solutions?
$$\mathrm{if}\:{a}\:\neq\:{b}\:\neq\:\mathrm{0},\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{there}\:\mathrm{any}\:\mathrm{solutions}? \\ $$

It can be proved that      m^2 +n^2 ,m^2 −n^2  & 2mn is a pathagorean  triplet for m,n∈N & m>n            m^2 +n^2 =353            a=m^2 −n^2             b=2mn            n^2 =353−m^2   For what values of m  353−m^2  is perfect  square? Recall  that 1≤m^2 ≤353⇒1 ≤m≤(√(353))=18  So testing 353−1^2 ,353−2^2 ,...,353−18^2   we ′ll find that m=17,n=8 .  m^2 −n^2 =17^2 −8^2 =225  2mn=2×17×8=272    272^2 +225^2 =353^2

(a+b+353)(a+b−353)=2ab  The possibility of a+b+353 being only  2a,2b or ab  is only when a & b  be primes. But there′s no guaranty  of being prime of a and b.
$$\left({a}+{b}+\mathrm{353}\right)\left({a}+{b}−\mathrm{353}\right)=\mathrm{2}{ab} \\ $$$${The}\:{possibility}\:{of}\:{a}+{b}+\mathrm{353}\:{being}\:{only} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{a},\mathrm{2}{b}\:{or}\:{ab}\:\:{is}\:{only}\:{when}\:{a}\:\&\:{b} \\ $$$${be}\:{primes}.\:{But}\:{there}'\mathrm{s}\:{no}\:{guaranty} \\ $$$${of}\:{being}\:{prime}\:{of}\:{a}\:{and}\:{b}. \\ $$

G∞D trick to tronsform into factor form:  353^2 =a^2 +b^2         → (a+b+353)(a+b−353)=2ab
