A polynomial with integer coefficients




Is it true that if a polynomial $f(x)$ takes integer values for every integer $x$ then its coefficients are integers?




I believe that it is. I just need a hint as to how I can prove or disprove this and just in case you were wondering this is not a homework problem.


Answer



It's false. Take for example $x(x-1)/2$
