The numbers 3, 4, 5 should jump out at you as the correct choice.

_____
{3, 4, 5} is the set of smallest integers that will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. They are also the only "Pythagorean triple" that forms an arithmetic sequence. Many folks remember these numbers for their simplicity and utility. They show up in many algebra problems and can be useful in real life.
