Understanding the Erdos Straus Conjecture and Its Path toward Possible Resolution

Abhijit Manohar

Abstract: The Erdos-Straus conjecture is a yet unproven statement in number theory. The conjecture is that, for every integer that is greater than or equal to 2, there exist positive integers and for which in other words, the number can be written as a sum of three positive unit fractions.

Keywords: Erdos-Straus conjecture, primes, triangular numbers, modulus method, 1017 integers checked, arithmetic progression, unit fractions
