Linear Diophantine equation of different form

Most of you shall be familiar to linear Diophantine equations of the form ax+by+c=0ax+by+c=0, but in this discussion I will talk about linear Diophantine of the form axy+bx+cy+d=0axy+bx+cy+d=0 where ab,ac,ada|b,a|c,a|d and a,b,ca,b,c and dd are integers.

Taking the equation axy+bx+cy+d=0axy+bx+cy+d=0 xy+ba+ca+da=0xy+\frac{b}{a}+\frac{c}{a}+\frac{d}{a}=0 x(y+ba)+ca(y+ba)cba2+da=0x(y+\frac{b}{a})+\frac{c}{a}(y+\frac{b}{a})-\frac{cb}{a^2}+\frac{d}{a}=0 (x+ca)(y+ba)=cba2da(x+\frac{c}{a})(y+\frac{b}{a})=\frac{cb}{a^2}-\frac{d}{a} (x+ca)(y+ba)=cba2da(x+\frac{c}{a})(y+\frac{b}{a})=\frac{cb}{a^2}-\frac{d}{a} Now as aa divides bb and cc both a2bc\therefore a^2|bc cba2Z\therefore \frac{cb}{a^2}∈Z Also as ada|d daZ\therefore \frac{d}{a}∈Z cba2daZ,cba2da=k\therefore \frac{cb}{a^2}-\frac{d}{a}∈Z , \frac{cb}{a^2}-\frac{d}{a}=k (x+ca)(y+ba)=k(x+\frac{c}{a})(y+\frac{b}{a})=k Now finding factors of kk will give you possible pair of integer values of xx and yy

Note:

  • I have done this for a particular case of the equation if you find any other result related to the equation (axy+bx+cy+d=0axy+bx+cy+d=0) then please comment.

  • aba|b denotes that "aa divides bb"

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
