1. Introduction and Main Results
In 1637, Fermat wrote in Latin the following statement translated into modern language: there does not exist a non-zero natural number
and
such that,
(1)
He claimed to hold a marvellous proof of it that the margin could not contain. In 1670, Samuel de Fermat reissued Bachet’s arithmetica augmented with his father’s annotations. Then, Fermat’s words were made public and popular. Subsequently, they proved to be a powerful stimulus in number theory research and contributed to the development of modern mathematics. We note the following significant facts attached to the problem posed by Fermat.
• In 1670, the proof of Fermat theorem for regular triangle established by using descent infinity method was published. The case
was an immediate consequence of this theorem.
• In 1770, Euler used the infinite descent method and the arithmetic of numbers
with a, b are integers to prove the case
of the problem ( [1] , pp. 24, 33).
• In 1825, Dirichlet proposed a proof of the cases
. His proof will be published in 1928 ( [2] , pp. 49, 55).
• In 1839, Lamé proved the case
. He made use of a polynomial identity of degree 7 ( [1] , p. 220). In 1840, Lebesgue found a simpler proof ( [1] , pp. 57, 62).
• There have been numerous papers devoted to the proof of Fermat’s theorem for special exponents, other than 7. The methods used were specific to the exponent in question and in most instances not susceptible of generalization ( [1] , pp. 63, 64).
• Between 1840 and 1847, Lamé and Cauchy produced erroneous evidence for a general solution to FLT ( [2] , p. 6).
• In 1823, Sophie Germain established that the first case of FLT is true for any prime
. A corollary to Sophie Germain’s theorem asserted that the first case of FLT for all odd exponents such that
is also prime is true. In the same year, Legendre extended this result for exponent p such that
were
is also prime ( [1] , pp. 109, 112).
• In 1846, Kummer introduced the theory of cyclotomic field and proved that the first case of FLT is true for regular prime exponents. He also proved that FLT is true for all exponent
[2] .
• In 1909, Wieferich proved that, if FLT fails in the first case, then
( [1] , p. 266).
• In 1977, Terjanian used the modular arithmetic, the residues theorem, and the law of quadratic reciprocity and establish the first case of the exponent 2p with p is an odd prime ( [1] , p. 203).
• In 1952 Harry Vandiver used a SWAC computer to prove FLT for all exponents below 2000. Later, Wagstaff pushed this limit to 125000 ( [2] , p. 102).
• In 1983, the Falting theorem is proved. One consequence of this result was that Fermat’s equation has only a finite number of solutions [3] .
• In 1985 Adleman, Heath-Brown, and Fouvry used methods from Sieve’s theory, and they established that the first case of FLT is true for an infinity of prime numbers. The tools mentioned go beyond the framework of elementary arithmetic ( [1] , p. 363). Other authors have investigated the density of the prime exponent for which FLT is true. Their results were published in [4] [5] .
• In 1994 André Wiles proposed an indirect and complex proof based on elliptic curves, Galois representations and modular forms. But his proof contained an error. A year later, it was repaired, and FLT was finally demonstrated in 1995. The tools mentioned go beyond the framework of elementary arithmetic ( [1] , pp. 366-374, [6] ).
Since that time, the hope of finding a direct or elementary proof at FLT disappeared to give way to indirect and sophisticated methods. After a period of euphoria maintained by the proof of Wiles, the idea of a direct and simple proof is reborn but in isolation [7] [8] .
It’s well known that the proof of FLT would be shortened if the abc conjecture were proven. By application of the abc conjecture, there exists a number such that if
then FLT is true ( [1] , pp. 364-365; [9] , p. 1436). But this evidence is indirect, and today inadmissible because the abc conjecture has still not been fully demonstrated.
In 2023 Kimou Prosper and Tanoe François introduced Fermat divisors, quotients and Diophantine remainders and demonstrated results attached to them. These efficient tools have given new possibilities to indeed compute and analyse the Fermat equation and other Diophantine type equations [10] [11] [12] . Our tools have enabled us to find new properties of Fermat’s equation or its hypothetical solution that were previously unsuspected. In this paper, we use an original asymptotic approach and Fermat divisors, Diophantine quotients and Diophantine remainders to prove the following main results.
