In 1995, A, Wiles announced, using cyclic groups ( a subject area which was not available at the time of Fermat), a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, which is stated as follows: If is an odd prime and x; y; z; are relatively prime positive integers, then z 6= x + y: In this note, an elegant proof of this result is given. It is proved, using elementary algebra, that if is an odd prime and x; y; z are positive integers satisfying z = x+y; then z; x; y are each divisible by :
