He never discovered that theorem, especially since it was his own. Nobody discovers their own theorems, they derive them. Anyways, he was either 35 or 36, no one knows for sure since only the year is known.

What is Pierre de fermat famous for?

Pierre De Fermat is famous for Fermat's Last Theorem, which states that an+bn=cn will never be true as long as n>2


What is the number that no value of can be greater than for the solutions to the equation in fermats last theorem?

Fermat's last theorem states that the equation xn + yn = zn has no integer solutions for x, y and z when the integer n is greater than 2. When n=2, we obtain the Pythagoras theorem.


Is anything named after Pierre de Fermat?

Yes, the famous Fermat's Last Theorem, a conjecture by Fermat, that an equation of the form an + bn = cn has no integer solution, for n > 2. This was conjectured by Fermat in 1637, but it was only proved in 1995.Yes, the famous Fermat's Last Theorem, a conjecture by Fermat, that an equation of the form an + bn = cn has no integer solution, for n > 2.

Why wasn't Fermats last theorem written on paper?

But it was. That is why we know about it. If you mean why the PROOF was not written- Fermat wrote that he had found a wonderful proof for the theorem, but unfortunately the margin was too small to contain it. This is why the theorem became so famous- being understandable by even a schoolchild, but at the same time so hard to prove that even the best mathematicians had to surrender, with a simple proof seemingly being existent that just nobody except Fermat could find. The theorem has since been proven but the proof uses math tools that are very advanced and were not available in Fermat's life-time.


What is a Theorem ender?

QED, Fermat's Last Theorem.
