For every natural number n > 1, show that \[ n^6 - n \] is divisible by 56786730 Notice that \[ 56786730=2\times 3\times 5\times 7\times 11\times 13\times 31\times 61 \]

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

how is 2^6-2 divisible by that mammoth no. btw? I don't see how..

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

or maybe I am unable to comprehend what the question means.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{2^{61}-2}{56786730}=4060 5314115 \] Sorry, I have a misprint \[ n^6 -n \]

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Ohkay, np. now let's think.

OpenStudy (experimentx):

is it 61??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I closed this question and posted the corrected one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is \[ n^{61} -n \]
