Any pointers and/or help with proving the following would be appreciated
For every prime number n, there exist positive integers (k,l,m) such that
k(m2-n2)=2(m3+n3-lm)
some examples (there could be several/many solutions for a given n)
{n,k,l,m}
{2, 14, 8, 2}
{3, 59, 264, 1}
{5, 53, 192, 3}
{7, 71, 264, 5},{7, 239, 6080, 1}
{11, 163, 1856, 5}
If the statement is true for prime n's, it can be shown to hold for composite n's as well.
Thanks, Mathador
