My dear Sir,
The Theorem I enuntiated <sic> to you is –
If xm = ym + zm
(m being a prime > 2)
xm = α mβ m = ym + zm
& α m= y + z
if x be not divisible by m.
Thus not only is <maths expression>
to be an mth power – but, the numerator and denominator must each be an mth power.
I have also shown that β leaves a remainder 1 when divided by m.
Yours truly
P. G. Tait.
