257 + 1 + 257 + 1 + 257 + 1 + 257 + 1 + 257 + 2 + 257 + 2 + 257 + 2 + 257 + 2

257(8) + 1(4) + 2(4) = 2068

(257^4) + (514^4) = (257^4) + ((2*257)^4)
                            = (257^4) + ((2^4) * (257^4))
                            = (1*(257^4)) + (16 * (257^4))
                                      (factor out the (257^4) from both terms)
                            = (1+16) * (257^4)
                            = 17 * 257 * 257 * 257 * 257
                            17 and 257 are the only distinct factors.
                            Both are prime, so we add 17+257 to get 274.


your answer was 2068
F


now we should stop since we both know different things.

That wasn't what you asked for.

What is the sum of the distinct prime numbers which divide (257^4) +(514^4)?

1, 2 and 257 are distinct prime numbers, you just worded it the way it was written in your textbook so its ambiguity was more apparent.

1 is not a prime number lol

Go make a "Answer Stockings Math Questions" thread  
And I've never gotten a cavity, do they hurt?

Mine specifically didn't. The filling process is completely painless. You don't even feel the novicane injection to numb your mouth. Plus you get laughing gas to make the process even more painless and fun. It was hard to think straight, but everything felt fuzzy too.
