Resolving Fermat‟s Last Theorem by Prime Factor Method and Proof in 5 steps

M.Meyyappan

Abstract

In number theory Fermat’s last theorem states that no three positive integers a,b,c satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for all exponents including n ≥ 3. This can be proved simply by considering the prime factors associated with one of the members a or b in the equation. It is found that when the exponent is greater than 2 , one or two numbers are invariably either complex or irrational. The non-existence of the relation with all are whole integers proves FLT for all exponents n ≥ 3 .However if the exponents are not same then the three member multi-power relation becomes possible. An unique property associated with these relations is described by Beal conjecture. The Pythagoras theorem, FLT and Beal conjecture are different forms of one and the same multi-power relation under different condition. The inherent linkage between them helps to prove both the Fermat’s last theorem and Beal conjecture in five successive steps.
