Interesting Sums

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 (A well-known primitive Pythagorean triple)

3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 216
6^3 = 216

So, 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 6^3

Could you come up with other interesting sums using the 4th, 5th powers?

  1. Your blog is very interesting and I met by chance. He has many short articles on number theory. I saw you write the equations without the use of latex, but you can write tex in Blogger. For this, simply install the program on your computer Grasemonkey. Here's how to get the equations in my blog. Thanks!
