Fermat's Last Theorem
Or,
Or,
In other words, if (1) is true then
(1)
[
must be divisible by .
(2)
Let,
If we classify
into odd or even numbers then we get 6 combinations (4C2), which are as follows:
i)
Even + Even - Even = Even
ii)
Odd + Odd - Even = Even
iii)
Odd + Even - Even = Odd
iv)
Odd + Odd - Odd = Odd
v)
Even +Even - Odd = Odd
vi)
Odd + Even - Odd = Even
But out of these 6 possibilities 3 are not valid; those are (iii), (iv) and (v).
It clearly shows that
must be an even number.
Thus, must be an even number.
But only prime number which is an even number is 2.
Form(1),
But for p being other prime numbers,
(3)
Category 2 (Odd Numbers)
Let, all odd numbers be expressed as
, where
Where,
Category 3 (Even Numbers)
Part A (Non powers of 2)
Let,
Where,
And
Or,
Or,
But, from (3), the above equation holds true only when
the equation does not hold true.
So we can conclude,
Where,
Part B (Powers of 2)
Let,
Where,
So,
Or from (2),
Again from (4),
Or,
Thus a contradiction arises. If we continue the contradiction continue too.
So, our assumption limits upto
only.
So,
Where,
Thus we have been able to prove that for
must be equal to 1 or 2.
Thus we have been able to prove Fermats Last Theorem
