\begin{document}
$\genfrac(){}{0}{a}{b}$

$\dlegendre{a}{b}\dlegendre{10}{20}$

$\genfrac(){}{}{a}{b}\legendre{a}{b}\legendre{100}{200}$

$\scriptstyle\genfrac(){}{}{a}{b}\legendre{a}{b}\legendre{10}{20}$

$\scriptscriptstyle\genfrac(){}{}{a}{b}\legendre{a}{b}\legendre{10}{20}$

$\displaystyle\legendre{a}{b}\textstyle\legendre{a}{b}
  \scriptstyle\legendre{a}{b}\scriptscriptstyle\legendre{a}{b}$
\end{document}

The user command are \legendre that typesets the symbol in the current math style or \dlegendre and \tlegendre to force display or text style.

The \genfrac parts are only for comparisons.


Interesting question. My first idea was to write In french the symbol is

$\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)$

but without dashed line, the second idea was to use \genfrac but I don't know how to draw the dashed line so the last idea is to use arydshln

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,arydshln} 

\def\Legendre(#1,#2){%
\begin{pmatrix}
#1\cr 
\hdashline[1pt/1pt]
#2\cr
\end{pmatrix}}  

\begin{document}
$\Legendre(97,37)$
\end{document}
