I can't understand the solution of the following problem: $x$,$y$,$z$ are pairwise distinct natural numbers show that $(x-y)^5$ + $(y-z)^5$ + $(z-x)^5$ is divisible by $5(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)$. No need to explain the div. by 5.
The sol. says: $(x-y)^5$ + $(y-z)^5$ + $(z-x)^5$ is $zero$ for $x=y$, $y=z$, $z=x$. So the terms $(x-y)$, $(y-z)$, $(z-x)$ can be factored out.
This is the 106th problem chap. 6 form "Problem solving strategies" by A. Engel If you have alternative solution pls feel free to post it.
For example, the given expression is divisible by $x-y$ if and only if $y$ is a root of the polynomial regarded as a function of $x$. But substituting $x=y$ indeed gives zero, so that $x-y$ must be a factor.
