Assignment # 3 : Solutions
... Yes. Since 29 is one of the prime factors of the right hand side of the equation, it is also a prime factor of the left-hand side (by the unique factorization theorem). But 29 does not equal a prime factor of 2, 3, 4, or 5 (because it’s too large). Hence 29 must occur as one of the prime factors of ...
