A property of prime numbers .

IT DOES NOT EXIST three distinct prime numbers so that

they should satisfies the equation which represents

Pithagora`s Theorem :

X2 + Y2 = Z2 ( 1 )

Let it be X , Y , Z three natural numbers ≥ 2 .

There are no solutions in prime numbers for the equation 1 .

Sketch of proof :

Case 1 .

If X and Y are both even numbers so that

X2 + Y2 to be the square of a natural number ,

than Z2

is a even number , and this implies that

_______
Z2 can not be an odd number , and so it is
√
obvious that

Z can not be a prime number .

Case 2 .

If X is an even number and Y is an odd number

let it be X = 2k and

let it be Y = 2j + 1 ;

than
X2 + Y2 = 4k2 + 4j2 + 4j + 1 .

But we stated the condition that simultaneously the three

solutions of equation 1 to be prime numbers .

The only even prime number is 2 .

Than , iff X = 2 and of course X2 = 4 , that implies

X2 + Y2 = 4 + 4j2 + 4j + 1 = 4 ( j2 + j ) + 5 .

____________________
Z = 4 ( j2 + j ) + 5
√
The expression

4 ( j2 + j ) + 5

which appears under the radical

could not be a perfect square of a natural number .

___________________
Z = 4 j( j + 1 ) + 5 ;
√
j and ( j + 1 ) are consecutive numbers , so that one of them
is a even number .

____________
Z = 8p + 5
√
There are no perfect squares of the form 8p + 5 .

Z2 can not be for this reason a perfect square , and this

implies that Z can not be a natural number ; and so Z can

not be a prime number .

Case 3 .

This case is resembling with case 1 .

X2 + Y2 = Z2
Let it be both X and Y odd natural numbers .

Z2 is an even number .

With the above conditions , Z2 can not be a perfect

square .

conjectura sau daca putem gasi o demonstratie .

Even , we suppose , by reductio ad absurdum that

Z2 is a perfect square , because it is a even number it

can not be the square of an odd natural number .

So that Z can not be an odd natural number , and by

cosequence it can not be a prime number .

It must be said that the prime number 2 can not be a
solution of the equation representing Pithagora`s Theorem
when the other two solutions are required to be prime
numbers , because the gap between the squares of two
distinct prime numbers which are both ≥ 3 is always
greater than 22 = 4 .
