Problem Statement

Let F(x,y)F(x,y) and G(x,y)G(x,y) be relatively prime homogeneous polynomials of degree at least one having integer coefficients. Prove that there exists a number cc depending only on the degrees and the maximum of the absolute values of the coefficients of FF and GG such that F(x,y)G(x,y)F(x,y)\neq G(x,y) for any integers xx and yy that are relatively prime and satisfy max{x,y}>c\max \{ |x|,|y|\} > c.
