⚠️ Retired — specification defect

The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its Disproved status carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.

Show that the equation $a^2b=2017(a+b)$ has no solutions for positive integers $a$ and $b$.

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem lean_workbook_plus_36799 : ¬∃ (a b : ℕ), a^2 * b = 2017 * (a + b)   :=  by sorry

Restore a,b>0 exactly as in the source; the all-natural equation additionally has the zero solution.

The recorded counterexample refutes the statement as encoded. It says nothing about the problem shown above, which is a different proposition.

Proposed corrected statement

Restore a,b>0 exactly as in the source; the all-natural equation additionally has the zero solution.

Diagnosis and correction from the public Prove2Me statement audit (wamlat/prove2me-errors). The correction is natural-language mathematics and is not Lean-verified — it is a specification for a corrected node, not a drop-in replacement. No corrected replacement node exists yet.
