Theorem
- $1331 = 11^3 = 19^2 + 21^2 + 23^2$
Proof
\(\ds 19^2 + 21^2 + 23^2\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 361 + 441 + 529\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 1331\) |
$\blacksquare$
Historical Note
In his Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. of $1997$, David Wells attributes this result to Michal Stajsczak, but gives no context.
