Fermat's Last Theorem
Sign in to saveAlso known as La conjetura de Fermat, teorema de wiles, La última conjetura de Fermat
theorem in number theory that there are no nontrivial integer solutions of xⁿ+yⁿ=zⁿ for integer n>2
Fermat's Last Theorem states that you cannot find whole numbers that satisfy the equation x^n + y^n = z^n when n is any integer greater than 2, which contrasts with the well-known Pythagorean theorem that works perfectly for n=2. This seemingly simple statement went unproven for over 350 years and became one of mathematics' most famous unsolved problems until it was finally proven in 1995, making it a landmark achievement in number theory.
