contents This problem was asked to K. Mahler by one of his Japanese colleagues, a Z-number is a positive real number $x$ such that the fractional parts of $x(\frac{3}{2})^n $ are less than $\frac{1}{2}$ for all integers $n$ such that $n \ge 0$. Kurt Mahler conjectured in 1968 that there are no Z-numbers. In this paper, we show that there are no Z-numbers in $\mathbb{Z}^{+} = \{1,2,3,...\}$.
