a nice problem for u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find all positive integers like n such that \[\frac{n^3+1}{n-1}\] is a positive integer too

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

\[\frac{n^3+1}{n-1}=\frac{n^3-1+2}{n-1}=\frac{(n-1)(n^2+n+1)+2}{n-1}=n^2+n+1+\frac{2}{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

so positive solutions would be for: n - 1 = 1 => n = 2 n - 1 = 2 => n = 3
