To solve the given problem, we need to find all prime numbers p,q,r,k such that the equation
pq+qr+rp=12k+1
is satisfied.
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. Analyzing the Equation:
The equation can be written as:
pq+qr+rp=12k+1
Our goal is to find integer values (specifically prime numbers) for p,q,r, and k that satisfy the equation.
2. Evaluating Possibilities:
Since p,q,r are prime numbers, let's start with small prime numbers and test them.
3. **Setting p=2**:
- Substituting p=2, we get:
2q+qr+2r=12k+1
- Rearranging, it becomes:
qr+2(q+r)=12k+1
Let's test with q=3 (the next smallest prime number):
4. **Setting q=3**:
- Substituting q=3 into the equation, we have:
3r+2(3+r)=12k+1
- Simplifying, we find:
3r+6+2r=12k+1⟹5r+6=12k+1⟹5r=12k−5
- Therefore, 5r≡7(mod12). Possible values of r≡7(mod12) need to be prime.
5. **Trying Possible Values for r**:
- Let’s check while satisfying 5r≡7(mod12):
- r=11: when r=11, check:
5(11)+6=55+6=61
Check if 61=12k+1:
61−1=60,then k=1260=5
- Therefore, (p,q,r,k)=(2,3,11,5).
6. Considering Permutations:
Due to symmetry in the equation pq+qr+rp, permuting (p,q,r) gives valid solutions without changing the form of the equation:
- Therefore, the valid solutions are:
(p,q,r,k)=(2,3,11,5);(2,11,3,5);(3,11,2,5);(3,2,11,5);(11,2,3,5);(11,3,2,5)
7. Conclusion:
Thus, all prime number solutions (p,q,r,k) such that the given equation holds are:
(2,3,11,5);(2,11,3,5);(3,11,2,5);(3,2,11,5);(11,2,3,5);(11,3,2,5)
