Fermat’s Last Theorem a n +b n =c n This theory states that no three positive integers will work in this equation if n is greater than 2. Fermat thought of this in 1637, and it was not proved until 1995 by Andrew Wiles. that is three and a half centuries later. Fermat’s theorem was in the Guinness Book of World Records for most difficult math problem. No one was able to prove this theorem, but Fermat had claimed to have prove but he did not tell anyone. When Fermat had died, he did not leave any evidence behind for proving the theorem.
Testing The Theorem In an episode of the Simpsons, “The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace”, Fermat’s theorem was apparently proven wrong. = Is it true or false?
THE SIMPSONS WERE WRONG! = = The answers are the same until the 10 th digit.
