Well-defined Erdös-Straus equations and L.C.M

Abstract

The Erdös-Straus conjecture states that the equation $\frac{4}{n}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$ has positive integer solutions $x, y, z$ for every postive integers $n\ge 2$. We generalize the Erdös-Straus equation, state several methods for obtaining well-defined equations, and some features of well-defined equations. Using well-defined equations, we explain the inefficiency of the solutions that did not lead to a complete proof of the problem. Finally, we prove that this conjecture cannot be completely proven by the methods expressed in various articles. For this reason, we express conjectures equivalent to the Erdös-Straus conjecture and make the concept of conjecture clearer. The well-defined equations of Erdös-Straus have a lot to do with the concept of the least common multiple and the greatest common divisor, and in the last section, we will independently express the functions and features based on the subject of the least common multiple.
