This equation can be rewritten as b c d + a c d + a b d + a b c = a b c d . Now since a , b , c , d are all odd, each of b c d , a c d , a b d and a b c is odd, and the sum of 4 odd numbers is even. But a b c d is odd, so the given equation cannot be satisfied with odd positive integers. The desired answer is then 0 .
