haruspex said:p2n <= 2pa+n- 2pn - pa + 5
Since pa > 5:
p2n <= 2pa+n
pn <= 2pa
Since p > 2, n <= a.
k(kpa+2) = 2kpa+n+2pn-p2n+3
k2pa+2k = 2kpa+n+2pn-p2n+3
So 2k congruent to 3 modulo pn (all other terms are divisible by pn).
2k cannot be negative, so 2k >= pn+3.
Another small misunderstanding sir. You have written that , [itex]k^2p^a+2k=2kp^{a+n}+2p^n-p^{2n}+3[/itex] and have said that, all the other terms are divisible by [itex] p^n[/itex]. But we can't write that, given there is a term [itex] k^2p^a[/itex] on the L.H.S
Thanks a lot again sir.
