Etymology: From the names of the variables a, b, and c. The conjecture was proposed in 1985. Head templates: {{en-noun|head=abc conjecture}} abc conjecture (plural abc conjectures)
  1. (number theory) Given coprime positive integers a, b and c, such that a + b = c, and d the radical of abc (the product of its distinct prime factors), the conjecture that d is usually not much smaller than c (in other words, that if a and b are divisible by large powers of primes, then c usually is not).
