Heaven helps those who work hard, and he finally solved this damn equation, and after plugging it in for verification, the equation’s equality can indeed be established.

But the answer is quite outrageous.

Because the values of the three variables a, b, and c all reached eighty digits!

The final result is:

a=154476802108746166441951315019919837485664325669565431700026634898253202035277999,

b=36875131794129999827197811565225474825492979968971970996283137471637224634055579,

c=4373612677928697257861252602371390152816537558161613618621437993378423467772036.

Qiao Yu finally understood how despicable this problem was, and how twisted the mind of the math expert who posed it!

If he didn’t have a computer and some programming knowledge, he wouldn’t have been able to solve it at all!

It’s well known that this kind of problem can’t be solved simply by using brute-force calculations with a computer, even if two of the variables are determined, because verifying that the third variable is an integer involves a total combination count of 10 to the power of 160.

Given the peak computing power of Huaxia’s large supercomputer is 1.25 billion billion calculations per second, which is 10 to the 18th power per second, it would take 10 to the power of 134 years to solve this problem.

So, a method to solve this problem had to be found first.

And to solve this problem, Qiao Yu truly had to deduce a lot.

He used up a pile of loose sheets just drafting elliptic curves.

The methods he tried even included plugging in special values, Euclidean algorithm, modular arithmetic, approximation and convergence, the mean inequality…

along with spending more than ten sleepless nights!

Fortunately, no matter how tortuous the process was, he finally cracked it!

So Qiao Yu quickly logged onto the forum, full of spirit, and with the title of a newbie, directly opened a new post.

“That equation you all said was difficult and impossible to solve has been solved by this newbie!”

Then he quoted the original problem, copied and pasted the answer directly, and straightforwardly tagged the problem’s original poster.

“Okay, I admit I was shallow before, you were right, this problem indeed has a solution.

I have found the integer solution and verified it.

Now, let me publicly share the answer…

Also, I want to respond to some previous comments.

To the senior who said math isn’t about brute force, it’s about thinking, thanks for the guidance.

The fact proves I do have brains.

But I’m curious, when you casually glance at it and your brain tells you not to bother, does it mean your brain thinks your IQ is not quite enough, so it triggers an alarm to make you retreat?

But I’m really sorry, when I first saw this problem, my brain was very sure the process to solve it is as simple as the problem itself, as long as you’re willing to solve it, you damn well can!

Turns out, my brain was right!

Oh, and thanks to the uncle who tried to teach me that the first lesson in learning math is to learn to give up!

Maybe you were talking about your own life experience and have accepted your mediocrity, but clearly, your life experience doesn’t apply to me!

Maybe saying these things will make you seniors angry, but please don’t be angry now, I’ll be frequently disrupting this forum in the future, giving you more opportunities to get mad!

I’m afraid you’ll exhaust your anger now, affecting the fluency of future problems.

If you’re not convinced, you’re welcome to continue discussing math with this fella, I’ll keep going!

…

After posting, Qiao Yu felt refreshed and jumped onto the bed, falling asleep instantly.

In reality, he had no choice but to act meekly for those dozens or hundreds of red papers, driven by life’s circumstances.

But online, sorry, if I feel unhappy, I’ll strike hard.

After all, he doesn’t know those random folks on the forum, they won’t affect him in the least, so when he needs to look down on someone, he will.

And as expected, Qiao Yu’s new post exploded!

No, it’s safe to say half of Huaxia’s number theory community was in an uproar!
