Prove that $n$ is a prime number or the square of a prime number.

Let $n$ be an odd positive integer satisfying $2^n-1$ with exactly 2 distinct prime factors. Prove that $n$ is a prime number or the square of a prime number.

that statement is true

we have $a^3+b^3 = 2$ and $3(a^4+b^4)+2a^4b^4 \le 8 $ , then we can deduce $a^2+b^2$ \le 2 $ ?

Determine all integers $n>1$ that satisfy the following condition: For every integer k such that $0\le k<n$ there always exists a positive integer $A$ that is divisible by n and $S(n)\equiv k (mod n) $. $S(n)$: sum of elements of $A$

Equilateral $\triangle ADC$ is drawn externally on side $AC$ of $\triangle ABC$. Point $P$ is taken on $BD$. Find $\angle APC$ if $BD=PA+PB+PC$.

i keep getting different answers for how the selection process gets down from the usamo winners to the IMO team so can someone set the record straight for me

if i had qualified for the usa(j)mo (i wish), would i have been flown out for free like mathcounts nationals or do you have to plan your own trip for going to the usamo

A hard inequality

Let a,b,c\ge 0: a+b+c=3. Prove \frac{1}{abc}+\frac{12}{a^2b+b^2c+c^2a}\ge 5.

Find all polynomials with integer coefficients such that, $a^2+b^2-c^2|P(a)+P(b)-P(c)$ for all $a,b,c \in \mathbb{Z}$.

Number theory question with many (confusing) variables

by urfinalopp, Mar 22, 2025, 4:06 PM

Given m,n,p,q \in \mathbb{N+}, find all solutions to 2^{m}3^{n}+5^{p}=7^{q}$

One of the paths I've found is to boil it down to solving two non-simultaneous equations 2^{m_1}+5^{n_1}=7^{q_1} and
7^{m_1}+5^{n_1}=2^{q_1} but its too hard. Any other approaches/solutions or a continuation of this path?
