>Euler proposed that the equation, an + bn = cn doesn’t hold true if the value of “n” is greater than “2”.
This is wrong. That is Fermat's last theorem, which is true. Euler's conjecture is related but more general:
>for all integers n and k greater than 1, if the sum of n kth powers of positive integers is itself a kth power, then n is greater than or equal to k:
a1k + a2k + ... + ank = bk ⇒ n ≥ k
