FAQ About Sophie Germain
What is the Germain Criterion?
The Germain Criterion, named after Sophie Germain, is a set of conditions she developed for proving Fermat's Last Theorem for certain prime numbers. It states that if x^n + y^n = z^n has no solutions for non-zero integers x, y, z, then there must be at least one integer that is divisible by the prime n.
