C. 911. Find the positive integers n for which n3+1 and n2-1 are both divisible by 101.

(5 points)

Deadline expired.


Sorry, the solution is published in Hungarian only.

Megoldás: n3+1=(n+1)(n2-n+1), és n2-1=(n+1)(n-1). Mivel 101 prím, ezért két lehetőség van:

I. 101|n+1

II. 101|n2-n+1 és 101|n-1.

Az I. esetben n=101k-1, ahol k tetszőleges pozitív egész.

A II. esetben 101|(n2-n+1)+(n-1)=n2. Mivel 101 prím, ezért ekkor 101|n. De 101|n-1 is teljesül, ami nem lehetséges. Ekkor tehát nincs megoldás.
