Re: Deduce whether or not 4^545 + 545^4 is Prime

What is that method?

Hi;

If you know the form you want you can curve fit.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

I don't follow... how will curve fitting help you factorise a^6 + 8b^6 for example?
