A math problem of divisional olympiad,2008

The GCD and LCM of 2 polynomials are (x-2) and (x^3+6x^2-x-30) respectively . If 1 of the polynomials is (x^2+x-6) , then find the other polynominal.

clue: got to follow the principle that
\[X\cdot Y=\left ( X,Y \right )\cdot \left [ X,Y \right ]\]
here,$\left ( X,Y \right )=$GCD of $X,Y$ and $\left [ X,Y \right ]=$LCM of $X,Y$
i don't think the problem needs anything else. ;)
\[\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{\frac{2 \pi i k}{n}}=0\]
Using $L^AT_EX$ and following the rules of the forum are very easy but really important, too.Please co-operate.

Ataher...
Try factoring the 2 given large polynomials. Remember that GCD is also a factor of LCM.
So you can always use the vanishing method.

If you are confused about the solution, it is
$(x+5)(x-2)$
.

vaia, probably the solution will be
\[(x+5)(x-2)\]
because,
\[GCD \times LCM=(x-2) \times (x-2)(x+3)(x+5)\]
one polynomial is $(x+3)(x-2)$
so the other will be
\[(x+5)(x-2)\]
i can be wrong.but, please check once more.

Oh, I missed that $(x-2)$. I edited my one... But now you've got a mistake... :p

divide the plynomial by $(x-2)$.and, we did it using function.you will get it in $IX-X$ math book.
