Can the cases of prime numbers be proved?

Doing so would actually complete the proofFarhan Hasin Zarif wrote:Can the cases of prime numbers be proved?

Re: fermat's last theorem
Hi Farhan, can you please elaborate your question? Because Fermat's last theorem has been proved for the general case of integer n, thus including the prime number cases of n as well. However, do you mean anything else by the 'cases of prime numbers'?
Re: fermat's last theorem
If you prove that $a^n+b^n=c^n$ doesn't have no solution for $n=p$ a prime, then it's done. That's what he meant.
One one thing is neutral in the universe, that is $0$.
Re: fermat's last theorem
In that case, just questioning whether "the cases of prime numbers CAN be proved" might give the impression that any proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is still incomplete and requires further proof for the cases of primes, but, as I said earlier, this has already been done (by Wiles and Taylor) and the proof is agreed by the mathematicians and historians of mathematics to be complete as of today. Then Farhan's question could have been a little more specific.
