$3^{32}-2^{32}$
$=(3^{16}+2^{16})(3^{16}-2^{16})$
$now,$
$=3^{16}-2^{16}$
$=(3^{8}+2^{8})(3^{8}-2^{8})$
$now,$
$3^{8}-2^{8}$
$=(3^4+2^4)(3^4-2^4)$
$=97 \cdot 65$
$=97 \cdot 5 \cdot 13$

the next thing i did isn't quite successful

$3^8+2^8$
$=17 \cdot 401$

so, the answers are
$5,97,13,17$

Using $L^AT_EX$ and following the rules of the forum are very easy but really important, too.Please co-operate.

@ataher.sams

i think you didn't notice how big mistakes i did on that post. i didn't even find out $4$ primes.now it's edited and quite fulfilled.

### Re: Math Problem

could anyone post a better way to functionize
$2^8+3^8$
i just used trial and error division process
$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{\frac{2 \pi i k}{n}}=0$

Why don't you start a new topic on this??
