Abstract
Fermat’s last theorem, very famous and difficult theorem in mathematics, has been proved by
Andrew Wiles and Taylor in 1995 after 358 years later the theorem was stated However, their
proof is extremely difficult and lengthy. Possibility of finding s simple proof, first indicated by
Fermat himself in a margin of his notes , has been still baffled and main objective of this paper
is, however, to point out important identities which will certainly be useful to find a simple
proof for the theorem.
