Project Euler Problem 87: https://projecteuler.net/problem=87
|
|
|
|
The smallest number expressible as the sum of a prime square, prime cube, and prime
|
|
fourth power is 28. In fact, there are exactly four numbers below fifty that can be
|
|
expressed in such a way:
|
|
|
|
28 = 22 + 23 + 24
|
|
33 = 32 + 23 + 24
|
|
49 = 52 + 23 + 24
|
|
47 = 22 + 33 + 24
|
|
|
|
How many numbers below fifty million can be expressed as the sum of a prime square,
|
|
prime cube, and prime fourth power?
