Fermat

[Tanz786]

what is the answer to fermat last theorum?

[stoo_pid]

Can't format the text properly I'm afraid but in the following equation, Xn means X to the power of n (e.g. X cubed)

Fermat's Last Theorem states that:

 Xn + Yn = Zn has no non-zero integer solutions for X, Y and Z when n > 2

In other words that equation will only work where n = 0, 1 or 2.

Mathematicians spent many years trying to actually prove this & I think it was finally proven in the mid 1990's.

Yes - Andrew Wiles (i think) at Cambridge University in c. 1996 (or was it Oxford?).  If you are asking what the proof actually is, then you would have to study very complicated higher mathematics for about ninety-four billion aeons until you knew enough to understand it all.  TODSFA
