If p is a prime number, it's factors are p and 1
Then we can write, m 2 − n 2 = p ( m + n ) ( m − n ) = p × 1
Afterthat, it must be true that m + n = p m − n = 1
If we solve them, we get m = 2 p + 1 n = 2 p − 1
For p > 2 all prime number must be odd number. So p + 1 , p − 1 must be divisible by 2 and we always get m , n as integer.
So the statement is T r u e
