N o t i c e t h a t 2 5 0 0 = 5 0 2 = 4 . 5 4 .
The identity to solve this is the SG identity.
If n were even, it (the number) would never be a prime.
So, n is odd. Let n = 2 k + 1 .
Then, 2 5 0 0 n + n 2 5 0 0 = 2 5 0 0 . 2 5 0 0 2 k + n 2 5 0 0 , which can further be written as:- 4 . ( 5 × 5 0 k ) 4 + ( n 6 2 5 ) 4 , which can even further be written as 4 a 4 + b 4 , which is factorisable.
∙ b 4 + 4 a 4 = ( b 2 + 2 a b + 2 a 2 ) ( b 2 − 2 a b + 2 a 2 )
