Ternary positive quadratic forms that represent all odd positive
... remain in limbo. I hope that their fate will be settled some day. 3. Three proofs of regularity. The proofs follow a single plan. In each case there is one other form in the genus; I write f for the target form and g for its genus mate. Let A be an integer represented by the genus. If g does not rep ...

PRIMES OF THE FORM x2 + ny 2 AND THE GEOMETRY OF
... first stated this theorem in a 1640 letter to Mersenne, and over the next two decades, he found similar statements for when a prime p could be written in the form x2 + ny 2 for n = 2, 3. Namely: p = x2 + 2y 2 ⇐⇒ p = 2 p = x2 + 3y 2 ⇐⇒ p = 3 ...

... 1. Prove that 0 has the prime property (if p|ab then p|a or p|b). If 0|ab then ab = 0, so a = 0 or b = 0, so 0|a or 0|b. 2. Prove that 1 has the prime property. Trivially, since 1|a for any a. 3. Show that if 5|n and 7|n then 35|n. Let n = 5k and n = 7j. Then 5k = 7j, so (since 5 has the prime prope ...

factoring, prime numbers and prime factorization
... Prime Numbers If a number does not have a factor besides 1 and itself, it is called prime. For example, 5 has no factors, whole numbers that can be divided into it evenly, besides 1 and 5. It is therefore prime. 20, on the other hand, has the factors 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20. Because it has factors bes ...
