A Note on Fermat’s Theorem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Abstract
It was conjectured by Fermat that if n > 2, the equation has no solution in positive integers. If n is composite, say n = lm, the equation implies Am + Bm = Cm, where A = al, etc. So the insolubility of the equation with exponent m ensures the insolubility of the equation with exponent n.
