## Question

[erdos-straus] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Erdos-Straus conjecture. Statement: For every integer n >= 2, there exist positive integers x,y,z such that 4/n = 1/x + 1/y + 1/z. If unsolved, report the best partial results and references. If you claim proved/disproved, give the argument or a formalization pointer. Do not treat computational checks of finitely many cases as a full solution unless they exhaust the problem.
