Fermat's Last Theorem, also known as Fermat's Last Theorem, was put forward by French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the 7th century.

He asserted that when the integer n > 2, the equation x n+y n = z n about x, y and z has no positive integer solution.

Wolfsk of Germany once announced that he would award 65,438+ten thousand marks to the first person who proved the theorem within 100 years after his death, which attracted many people to try and submit their "proofs".

After it was put forward, it was proved by British mathematician andrew wiles in 1995 after more than 300 years of history.
