Solve the equation in prime numbers and : .
Solutions — 2
Solution 1
Answer: .
(Solution of E. Dauhiala, B. Gilevich, A. Zhuk, A. Semchankau.) We have
If , then , so .
Hence, , i.e.
for some . It follows that , or . Substituting this expression in (2) we obtain . The discriminant of this quadratic on equation
must be a perfect square. But it is easy to check that
Moreover, the equation has no solutions.
Hence, . For we have , and for we have , which is impossible. For we obtain , so . Thus and . It remains to note the primes do satisfy the equation.
Solution 2
Answer: , .
We have
If , then , so .
Hence, , i.e.
for some . It follows that , or . Substituting this expression in (2) we obtain . The discriminant of this quadratic on equation
must be a perfect square. But it is easy to check that
Moreover, the equation has no solutions.
Hence, . For we have , and for we have , which is impossible. For we obtain , so . Thus and . It remains to note the primes , do satisfy the equation.
