Diophantine equations have always fascinated mathematicians about existence, finitude, and the calculation of possible solutions. Among these equations, one of them will be the object of our research. This is the Pythagoras¡¯- Fermat¡¯s equation defined as follows.
(1)
when , it is well known that this equation has an infinity of
solutions but has none (non-trivial) when
. We also know that the last result, named Fermat-Wiles
theorem (or FLT) was obtained at great expense and its understanding remains
out of reach even for a good fringe of professional mathematicians. The aim of this research is to set up new simple but
effective tools in the treatment of Diophantine equations and that of
Pythagoras-Fermat. The tools put forward in this research are the
properties of the quotients and the Diophantine remainders which we define as
follows. Let
a non-trivial triplet (
) solution
of Equation (1) such
that

and
are called the
Diophantine quotients and remainders of solution
