Question re(2): Start | Comment 4 of 9 |
(In reply to re: Start by broll)

From Google I learn that Fermat studied the curves x^3+y^3=Az^3 an stablish that if there is a non trivial solution then exists infinitely many. 

Prestet working on Fermat get some formulas to obtain other solutions from one:

X=x(2y^3+x^3),  Y=-y(2x^3+y^3),  Z=z(x^3-y^3)

Using our solution (137, -65, 42) we get:
(277028111,  316425265,  119531076), all positive integers.

Then:
X+Y+Z= 712984452

and 
31Z^3=5.2942468*10^25

I'm not sure this is the smallest value, but Charlie's search makes it quite possible.
