I withdraw the above example. It's not applicable in the context of the problem. Assuming the equation (x+y+z)^3 =3*(x+y)*(x+z)*(y+z) you are definitely correct in your statement that if 3 does not divide x*y*z then 3 does not divide (x+y)*(x+z)*(y+z). So yes, you can prove FLT for p=3, case 1, but that's the absolute easiest case. What about p=3, case 2? quasi |
