Abstract |
It is pointed out toward an overlooked identity in Number Theory. Using the observed identity, a new result in
Number Theory is obtained, and a new proof of a previously known result is given. Educational aspects are also discussed,
pointing toward possible explanation why the observed identity, which looks trivial once observed, has not
been pointed out so far.
