Recall that a natural number \(x\) is called prime if \(x\) has no divisors except \(1\) and itself. Solve the equation with prime numbers \(pqr = 7(p + q + r)\).

Numbers \(a, b, c\) are integers with \(a\) and \(b\) being coprime. Let us assume that integers \(x_0\) and \(y_0\) are a solution for the equation \(ax + by = c\).

Prove that every solution for this equation has the same form \(x = x_0 + kb\), \(y = y_0 - ka\), with \(k\) being a random integer.

A student did not notice the multiplication sign between two three-digit numbers and wrote one six-digit number, which turned out to be exactly seven times their product. Determine these numbers.

The student did not notice the multiplication sign between two seven-digit numbers and wrote one fourteen-digit number, which turned out to be three times bigger than their product. Determine these numbers.

Solve the equation \(3x + 5y = 7\) in integers. Make sure that you’ve found all integer solutions.

A broken calculator carries out only one operation “asterisk”: \(a*b = 1 - a/b\). Prove that using this calculator it is possible to carry out all four arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
