Introduction A Diophantine equation is a polynomial equation  ݔ 1 , ݔ 2 , , ݔ =0 where the polynomial has integral coefficients and one is interested in solutions for which all the unknowns take integer values. For example, ݔ 2 + ݕ 2 = ݖ 2 and ݔ= 3, ݕ= 4, ݖ=5 is one of its infinitely many solutions. Another example is ݔ+ ݕ=1 and all its solutions are given by ݔ= ݐ, ݕ=1 ݐwhere ݐpasses through all integers. A third example is ݔ 2 +4 ݕ= 3. This Diophantine equation has no solutions, although note that ݔ= 0, ݕ= 3 4 is a solution with rational values for the unknowns. Diophantine equations are rich in variety. Two variable Diophantine equation have been a subject to extensive research, and their theory constitutes one of the most beautiful, most elaborate part of mathematics, which nevertheless still keeps some of its secrets for the next generation of researchers. In this paper, we investigate positive integral solutions of the Diophantine equation 2 56 2 32− 224− 224 = 0 which is transformed into a Pell’s equation and is solved by various methods. 2.

It is not easy to solve and find the nature and properties of the solutions of (1). So we apply a linear transformation to (1) to transfer to a simpler form for which we can determine the integral solutions.
