Quartan prime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics , a quartan prime is a prime number of the form x 4  +  y 4 where x and y are positive integers . The odd quartan primes are of the form 16 n  + 1.

For example, 17 is the smallest odd quartan prime: 1 4  + 2 4  = 1 + 16 = 17.

With the exception of 2 ( x = y = 1), one of x and y will be odd, and the other will be even . If both are odd or even, the resulting integer will be even, and 2 is the only even prime.

The first few quartan primes are

2 , 17 , 97 , 257 , 337 , 641 , 881 , … (sequence A002645 in the OEIS ).
