We are tasked with finding all positive integer solutions (x,y,z) to the system of equations:
1. z+y2+x3=xyz
2. x=gcd(y,z)
First, observe that since x=gcd(y,z), x divides both y and z. Let us express y and z in terms of x:
y=xaandz=xb
where gcd(a,b)=1. Substituting these into the first equation gives:
xb+(xa)2+x3=(x)(xa)(xb)
Simplifying, this becomes:
xb+x2a2+x3=x3ab
Divide through by x (assuming x=0, which is valid for positive integers):
b+xa2+x2=x2ab
Rearranging this, we get:
b+xa2+x2=x2ab⇒b(1−x2a)=x(a2+x)
To solve, consider small values of x and find compatible (y,z):
**Case x=1:**
- For x=1, the equations simplify to:
z+y2+1=yz
Rearrange to:
z−yz=−y2−1⇒z(1−y)=−y2−1
Try small values for y:
- y=2:
z(1−2)=−4−1⇒−z=−5⇒z=5
Valid solution: (1,2,5).
- y=3:
z(1−3)=−9−1⇒−2z=−10⇒z=5
Valid solution: (1,3,5).
**Case x=2:**
- For x=2:
z+y2+8=2yz
Rearrange to:
z(2y - 1) = y^2 + 8
]
Trying small values of \( y \) gives:
- \( y = 2 \):
\[
z(2 \cdot 2 - 1) = 2^2 + 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3z = 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z = 4
Valid solution: (2,2,4).
- y=6:
z(2⋅6−1)=62+8⇒11z=44⇒z=4
Valid solution: (2,6,4).
Hence, the solutions are:
(1,2,5),(1,3,5),(2,2,4),(2,6,4)
These exhaustively account for all solutions given the constraints.
