number theory - Prime factor of A=147+142+1




Find a prime factor of A=147+142+1. Obviously without just computing it.


Answer



Hint: I've seen the 3rd cyclotomic polynomial too many times.




x7+x2+1=(x7x4)+(x4+x2+1)=x4(x31)+x61x21=x4(x+1)(x2+x+1)+(x31)(x3+1)(x1)(x+1)=x4(x+1)(x2+x+1)+(x2+x+1)(x2x+1)
