The number of integral solutions $(x,y)$ of $x^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+2y^3=50653$

114 Views Asked by At

This was a wonderful question given to me by professor in my last class test. He asked for the solution with the least number of steps.

Find the number of integral solutions $(x,y)$ of the equation:

$$x^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+2y^3=50653$$

Can anyone do it?

Note that this is $$ (x + y)^3 + y^3 = 37^3; $$ by Wiles' theorem the only integral solutions are $(37,0)$ and $(-37,37)$.
