摘要

We prove that there exist only three pentagonal numbers that can be written as the product of three consecutive integers. We also show that there does not exist any pentagonal number that is a perfect cube. To prove these results, we used the arithmetic of elliptic curves and fundamental units of certain real quadratic field to find the integral solutions of a resulting elliptic curve.
