Question
For any positive integer n that is larger than 2, find the largest common divisor for
n^5-5n^3+4n
For any positive integer n that is larger than 2, find the largest common divisor for
n^5-5n^3+4n
n^5-5n^3+4n
=n(n^4-5n^2+4)
=n(n^4-1-5n^2+5)
=n[(n^2-1)(n^2+1)-5(n^2-1)]
=n(n^2-1)(n^2-4)
=(n-2)(n-1)(n)(n+1)(n+2)
For any positive integer n that is larger than 2, the expression n^5-5n^3+4n has largest common divisor
1\times2\times3\times4\times5 = 120
