Solution: We have 120 = 3 * 5 * 8
therefore to show that given expression is divisible by 120 ; it is sufficient to show that 3, 5 and 8 are the factors of n^5-5n^3+4n
let us factorise the given expression:
since (n-2), (n-1), n, (n+1) are 4 consecutive integers.
one of it must be divisible by 4.
and at least two out of 5 consecutive integers must be even.
thus it must be divisible by 8.
now again out of three consecutive integers 1 must be divisible by 3.
and out of 5 consecutive integers 1 must be divisible by 5.
thus the given expression is divisible by 3, 5 and 8
thus it is divisible by 120.
