5-1 = 4
8-4 = 18
14-9 = 343
15-5 = 605
23-11 = ?
Find the rule that makes this work!
Consider the r.h.s of each equation. They are:
(1) 1 * 2^2
(2) 2 * 3^2
(3) 7 * 7^2
(4) 5 * 11^2
This immediately leads one to surmise that the r.h.s of (5) should admit of the form p * q^2, where each of p and q is a positive integer. It is possible that each of p and q may even be a PRIME NUMBER.
I have been trying ever since to connect these forms to the ones provided in the l.h.s..- but so far my efforts in that direction are yet to reach fruition.
