It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. The conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4 × 10 18 but remains unproven despite considerable effort.
Fermat's Last Theorem considers solutions to the Fermat equation: a n + b n = c n with positive integers a, b, and c and an integer n greater than 2. There are several generalizations of the Fermat equation to more general equations that allow the exponent n to be a negative integer or rational, or to consider three different exponents.
Prime number: A positive integer with exactly two positive divisors: itself and 1. The primes form an infinite sequence 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, ... Composite number: A positive integer that can be factored into a product of smaller positive integers. Every integer greater than one is either prime or composite.
Fermat's Last Theorem states that no three positive integers (a, b, c) can satisfy the equation a n + b n = c n for any integer value of n greater than 2. (For n equal to 1, the equation is a linear equation and has a solution for every possible a and b. For n equal to 2, the equation has infinitely many solutions, the Pythagorean triples.)
A prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. By Euclid's theorem, there are an infinite number of prime numbers. Subsets of the prime numbers may be generated with various formulas for primes.
An abundant number whose abundance is greater than any lower number is called a highly abundant number, and one whose relative abundance (i.e. s(n)/n ) is greater than any lower number is called a superabundant number; Every integer greater than 20161 can be written as the sum of two abundant numbers. The largest even number that is not the sum ...
A positive integer with more divisors than any smaller positive integer. A002182: Superior highly composite numbers: 2, 6, 12, 60, 120, 360, 2520, 5040, 55440, 720720, ... A positive integer n for which there is an e > 0 such that d(n) / n e ≥ d(k) / k e for all k > 1. A002201: Pronic numbers: 0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72 ...
An integer is the number zero , a positive natural number (1, 2, 3, ... An integer is positive if it is greater than zero, and negative if it is less than zero. Zero ...
