In [[additive number theory]], [[Pierre de Fermat]]'s theorem on sums of two squares states that an [[Even and odd numbers|odd]] [[prime number|prime]] ''p'' is expressible as | |||
:<math>p = x^2 + y^2,\,</math> | |||
with ''x'' and ''y'' integers, [[if and only if]] | |||
:<math>p \equiv 1 \pmod{4}.</math> | |||
For example, the primes 5, 13, 17, 29, 37 and 41 are all congruent to 1 [[modular arithmetic|modulo]] 4, and they can be expressed as sums of two squares in the following ways: | |||
:<math>5 = 1^2 + 2^2, \quad 13 = 2^2 + 3^2, \quad 17 = 1^2 + 4^2, \quad 29 = 2^2 + 5^2, \quad 37 = 1^2 + 6^2, \quad 41 = 4^2 + 5^2.</math> | |||
On the other hand, the primes 3, 7, 11, 19, 23 and 31 are all congruent to 3 modulo 4, and none of them can be expressed as the sum of two squares. | |||
[[Albert Girard]] was the first to make the observation (in 1632) <ref>Dickson, Ch. VI</ref> and Fermat was first to claim a proof of it. | |||
Fermat announced this theorem in a letter to [[Marin Mersenne]] dated December 25, 1640; for this reason this theorem is sometimes called ''Fermat's Christmas Theorem.'' | |||
Since the [[Brahmagupta–Fibonacci identity]] implies that the product of two integers that can be written as the sum of two squares is itself expressible as the sum of two squares, by applying Fermat's theorem to the prime factorization of any positive integer n, we see that if all of n's odd prime factors congruent to 3 modulo 4 occur to an even exponent, it is expressible as a sum of two squares. The converse also holds. | |||

Fermat usually did not write down proofs of his claims, and he did not provide a proof of this statement. The first proof was found by [[Euler]] after much effort and is based on [[infinite descent]]. He announced it in a letter to [[Christian Goldbach|Goldbach]] on April 12, 1749. [[Joseph Louis Lagrange|Lagrange]] gave a proof in 1775 that was based on his study of [[quadratic forms]]. This proof was simplified by [[Carl Friedrich Gauss|Gauss]] in his ''[[Disquisitiones Arithmeticae]]'' (art. 182). [[Richard Dedekind|Dedekind]] gave at least two proofs based on the arithmetic of the [[Gaussian integer]]s. There is an elegant proof using [[Minkowski's theorem]] about convex sets. Simplifying an earlier short proof due to [[Roger Heath-Brown|Heath-Brown]] (who was inspired by [[Liouville]]'s idea), [[Don Zagier|Zagier]] presented a one-sentence proof of Fermat's assertion. | |||
==Related results== | |||
Fermat announced two related results fourteen years later. In a letter to [[Blaise Pascal]] dated September 25, 1654 he announced the following two results for odd primes <math>p</math>: | |||
*<math>p = x^2 + 2y^2 \Leftrightarrow p\equiv 1\mbox{ or }p\equiv 3\pmod{8},</math> | |||
*<math>p= x^2 + 3y^2 \Leftrightarrow p\equiv 1 \pmod{3}.</math> | |||
He also wrote: | |||
: ''If two primes which end in 3 or 7 and surpass by 3 a multiple of 4 are multiplied, then their product will be composed of a square and the quintuple of another square.'' | |||
In other words, if ''p, q'' are of the form 20''k'' + 3 or 20''k'' + 7, then ''pq'' = ''x''<sup>2</sup> + 5''y''<sup>2</sup>. Euler later extended this to the conjecture that | |||
* <math>p = x^2 + 5y^2 \Leftrightarrow p\equiv 1\mbox{ or }p\equiv 9\pmod{20},</math> | |||
* <math>2p = x^2 + 5y^2 \Leftrightarrow p\equiv 3\mbox{ or }p\equiv 7\pmod{20}.</math> | |||

Many investors will possible want to try how they will customise the property that they do determine to buy by means of here. This location has offered folks the prospect that they should understand extra about how this course of can work as well.
Singapore has been beckoning to traders ever since the value of properties in Singapore started sky rocketing just a few years again. Many businesses have their places of work in Singapore and prefer to own their own workplace area within the country once they decide to have a everlasting office. Rentals in Singapore in the corporate sector can make sense for some time until a business has discovered a agency footing. Finding Commercial Property Singapore takes a variety of time and effort but might be very rewarding in the long term.
is changing into a rising pattern among Singaporeans as the standard of living is increasing over time and more Singaporeans have abundance of capital to invest on properties. Investing in the personal properties in Singapore I would like to applaud you for arising with such a book which covers the secrets and techniques and tips of among the profitable Singapore property buyers. I believe many novice investors will profit quite a bit from studying and making use of some of the tips shared by the gurus." – Woo Chee Hoe Special bonus for consumers of Secrets of Singapore Property Gurus Actually, I can't consider one other resource on the market that teaches you all the points above about Singapore property at such a low value. Can you? Condominium For Sale (D09) – Yong An Park For Lease
In 12 months 2013, c ommercial retails, shoebox residences and mass market properties continued to be the celebrities of the property market. Models are snapped up in report time and at document breaking prices. Builders are having fun with overwhelming demand and patrons need more. We feel that these segments of the property market are booming is a repercussion of the property cooling measures no.6 and no. 7. With additional buyer's stamp responsibility imposed on residential properties, buyers change their focus to commercial and industrial properties. I imagine every property purchasers need their property funding to understand in value.
In additive number theory, Pierre de Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares states that an odd prime p is expressible as
with x and y integers, if and only if
For example, the primes 5, 13, 17, 29, 37 and 41 are all congruent to 1 modulo 4, and they can be expressed as sums of two squares in the following ways:
On the other hand, the primes 3, 7, 11, 19, 23 and 31 are all congruent to 3 modulo 4, and none of them can be expressed as the sum of two squares.
Albert Girard was the first to make the observation (in 1632) [1] and Fermat was first to claim a proof of it. Fermat announced this theorem in a letter to Marin Mersenne dated December 25, 1640; for this reason this theorem is sometimes called Fermat's Christmas Theorem.
Since the Brahmagupta–Fibonacci identity implies that the product of two integers that can be written as the sum of two squares is itself expressible as the sum of two squares, by applying Fermat's theorem to the prime factorization of any positive integer n, we see that if all of n's odd prime factors congruent to 3 modulo 4 occur to an even exponent, it is expressible as a sum of two squares. The converse also holds.
Proofs of Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares
Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church.
Fermat usually did not write down proofs of his claims, and he did not provide a proof of this statement. The first proof was found by Euler after much effort and is based on infinite descent. He announced it in a letter to Goldbach on April 12, 1749. Lagrange gave a proof in 1775 that was based on his study of quadratic forms. This proof was simplified by Gauss in his Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (art. 182). Dedekind gave at least two proofs based on the arithmetic of the Gaussian integers. There is an elegant proof using Minkowski's theorem about convex sets. Simplifying an earlier short proof due to Heath-Brown (who was inspired by Liouville's idea), Zagier presented a one-sentence proof of Fermat's assertion.
Related results
Fermat announced two related results fourteen years later. In a letter to Blaise Pascal dated September 25, 1654 he announced the following two results for odd primes :
He also wrote:
- If two primes which end in 3 or 7 and surpass by 3 a multiple of 4 are multiplied, then their product will be composed of a square and the quintuple of another square.
In other words, if p, q are of the form 20k + 3 or 20k + 7, then pq = x2 + 5y2. Euler later extended this to the conjecture that
Both Fermat's assertion and Euler's conjecture were established by Lagrange.
