2016 AIME II Problem 5
Triangle ABC_0 has a right angle at C_0. Its side lengths are pairwise relatively prime positive integers, and its perimeter is p. Let C_1 be the foot of the altitude to \overline{AB}, and for n \geq 2, let C_n be the foot of the altitude to \overline{C_{n-2}B} in \triangle C_{n-2}C_{n-1}B. The sum \sum_{n=2}^\infty C_{n-2}C_{n-1} = 6p. Find p.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
