Talk:Smallest 5th Power equal to Sum of 5 other 5th Powers

I assume all of the $5$ other fifth powers must be positive integers as well?

Otherwise:


 * $1^5 = 1^5 + 0^5 + 0^5 + 0^5 + 0^5 = 1^5 + 5^5 + \paren{-5}^5 + 17^5 + \paren{-17}^5$
 * $2^5 = 2^5 + 0^5 + 0^5 + 0^5 + 0^5 = 2^5 + 31^5 + \paren{-31}^5 + 97^5 + \paren{-97}^5$

 * Good call. I've entered this as another errata page. I do feel sorry for David Wells. $179$ errata in the second edition, and counting. --prime mover (talk) 05:29, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
