I didn't get very far... I don't follow their examples here...
"In addition, one side of every Pythagorean triple is divisible by 3, another by 4, and another by 5. One side may have two of these divisors, as in (8, 15, 17), (7, 24, 25), and (20, 21, 29), or even all three, as in (11, 60, 61)."
Oh! Never mind. One side can 'eat up' all the divisors is what they are saying. Nifty.
