We know that 24=42 and (−2)−4=(−4)−2. Is there another pair of integers x,y (x≠y) which satisfies the equality xy=yx?
Answer
This is a classic (and well known problem).
The general solution of xy=yx is given by
x=(1+1/u)uy=(1+1/u)u+1
It can be shown that if x and y are rational, then u must be an integer.
