An algebraic proof of Fermat’s last theorem

Abstract

In 1995, A, Wiles announced, using cyclic groups, a
proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, which is stated as follows: If
is an odd prime and x; y; z are relatively prime positive integers,
then z 6= x +y: In this note, a proof of this theorem is oered,
using elementary Algebra. It is proved that if is an odd prime
and x; y; z are positive inyegera satisfying z = x +y; then x; y;
and z are each divisible by :
