prove that the diophantine equation x 27y2 67 has no soluti
prove that the diophantine equation x^ 27y^2 = 67 has no solutions
Solution
67 is odd so one of x,y must be even and other odd
Case 1: x odd, y even
Hence, x^2=1 mod 4,y^2=0 mod 4
x^2-7y^2=1-0=1 mod 4
BUt, 67=3 mod 4
So no solutions possible
Case 2:x is even , y is odd
x^2=0 mod 4
y^2=1 mod 4
x^2-7y^2=0-7*1=-7=1 mod 4
So again no solutions
Hence no integer solutions possible
