A perfect power is an integer $n$ that can be represented as $a^{k}$ for some positive integers $a \geq 1$ and $k \geq 2$. Find the sum of all prime numbers $0<p<50$ such that $p$ is 1 less than a perfect power.
41
First, it is known that $a^{k}-1=(a-1)\left(a^{k-1}+a^{k-2}+\ldots\right)$. This means either $a-1$ or $a^{k-1}+a^{k-2}+\ldots+1$ must be 1 in order for $a^{k}-1$ to be prime. But this only occurs when $a$ is 2 . Thus, the only possible primes are of the form $2^{k}-1$ for some integer $k>1$. One can check that the pri...

Since Jovin, Anna and Olivia take $\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ of the pizza, respectively, then the fraction of the pizza with which Wally is left is $$ 1-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{12}{12}-\frac{4}{12}-\frac{2}{12}-\frac{3}{12}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4} $$
