Solution 5
by Ant
n9 - 6n7
+ 9n5 - 4n3 is divisible by 8640.
means show:
n3(n-2)(n+2)(n-1)2(n+1)2=k(22.33.5)
spread of factors are:
n-2 once
n-1 twice
n trice
n+1 twice
n+2 once
so for any integer, n, there will be a factor divisible by 5
also, for any integer, n, there will be at least two factors
divisible by 2 ie if n is even there will be 5 factors divisible by
2, if n is odd, there will be 5 factors divisible by 2
also, for any integer, n, there will be at least 3 factor divisible
by 3
ie if n is a factor of 3, you have n trice
if mod n/3 = 1, you have n-1 twice and n+2 once
if mod n/3 = 2, you have n-2 once and n+1 twice
