how many integral solution are possible x^2+y^2+z^2=1980 some hw for everyone

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

are we allowed to use this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre's_three-square_theorem

OpenStudy (gorv):

u can use whatever u want

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then we're done

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1980 = 4x495 = 4(8*61 + 8) appealing to Legendre's three square theorem, you can conclude there are no solutions

OpenStudy (gorv):

yeah u r right

myininaya (myininaya):

4(61*8+7) :p

OpenStudy (gorv):

thatzz understandble jst typin mistake

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its a bit boring way to work a problem... i feel working it without using the theorem will be mrore interesting..

OpenStudy (gorv):

but that will like hit and trial

OpenStudy (gorv):

you have to pick number ending with 0 and try

OpenStudy (gorv):

like a0, b0 ,c0

OpenStudy (gorv):

a b and c are any integer

OpenStudy (gorv):

now on squaring these they will give 2 zeros in end

OpenStudy (gorv):

so no possible solution
