This paper deals with the Diophantine equation axy+bx+cy=d (and bc are coprime). It revisits the old methods of solving this equation. It establishes a link between this solution and the characterization of the elements of the arithmetic progression ax+b (and b are coprime). It provides a new method for solving this equation. It leads to two primality criteria and a commutative diagram characterizing odd natural numbers.
Author Keywords: diophantine equation, coprime numbers, primality, commutative diagram, characterization.

It establishes a link between this solution and the characterization of the elements of the arithmetic progression ax+b (and b are coprime). It provides a new method for solving this equation. It leads to two primality criteria and a commutative diagram characterizing odd natural numbers.

Abstract: (french)
Cet article porte sur l’équation diophantienne axy+bx+cy=d (a et bc étrangers). Il en repense les anciennes méthodes de résolution. Il établit un lien entre cette résolution et la caractérisation des éléments de la progression arithmétique ax+b (a et b étrangers). Il en donne une nouvelle méthode de résolution. Il aboutit à deux critères de primalité et un diagramme commutatif de caractérisation des nombres entiers naturels impairs.
Author Keywords: équation diophantienne, nombres étrangers, primalité, diagramme commutatif, caractérisation.
