Problem Statement

Prove that there exist infinitely many triples of positive integers (a,b,c)(a,b,c) so that a,b,ca,b,c are pairwise coprime and a22021+b22021=c22021.\bigg \lfloor \frac{a^2}{2021} \bigg \rfloor + \bigg \lfloor \frac{b^2}{2021} \bigg \rfloor = \bigg \lfloor \frac{c^2}{2021} \bigg \rfloor.
