    Number Theory Help: Proving Expression is Equal to Prime Number

    Well Dick,you may be right that my question is not that easy,but as i told that myself being just a begineer ,i may not have duly reconginsed the depth in the question. But,my intution says that simple expressions like 1+px(p being a prime) will definitely yield a prime.But,had no idea that...

    Number Theory Help: Proving Expression is Equal to Prime Number

    Thanx for solution, But I hav a doubt in : a/x=t a=xt Since a has to be an integer, and t is not an integer, x can not be an integer either. Here ,how can we say that product of a rational number and integer is not a integer. As,here x is not a prime(assume) may be factor of denominator of t...
