Re: Find all $n$s
This problem is self-made.Let $f(n)=n^{14}+(n^2+1)(n+1)$.Note that unity has five fifth roots namely $1,\omega,\omega^2,\omega^3,\omega^4$.First expand that thing.Then notice the powers form a complete residue system of $5$.Then this idea comes to put values of the fifth roots of unity to that function.Nadim Ul Abrar wrote:How did you figure that out ?
