Problem 599
Pick one
Official solution
First, we factor as .
If or , then the factor is a multiple of 5, so the original expression is divisible by 5.
If or , then the factor is a multiple of 5, so the original expression is divisible by 5.
If , then neither nor is a multiple of 5.
Since neither factor is a multiple of 5, which is a prime number, then the product is not divisible by 5.
Therefore, there are four integers in the range for which is divisible by 5.
