The divisibility conjecture for equiconstructible equilateral triangles

From papers

Let (a,b,c)(a,b,c) be the side lengths of the triangular tile, and say that a positive real number XX is equiconstructible by (a,b,c)(a,b,c) when an equilateral triangle with side length XX can be tiled by copies of that triangle. Divisibility conjecture. All equiconstructible XX are divisible by abab; in particular, for the tile (a,b,c)=(5,16,19)(a,b,c)=(5,16,19), every equiconstructible XX is divisible by 1616.

The preceding lemma proves the divisibility statement when aa and bb are square-free, while the case (5,16,19)(5,16,19) is presented as the smallest interesting case beyond that result. The conjecture is intended to constrain the possible side lengths of equilateral tilings.
