Prove that for $N>1$ that $(N^{2})^{2014} - (N^{11})^{106}$ is divisible by $N^6 + N^3 +1$
Is this just a proof by induction or is there a more elegant method? I don't think calculating $N = 2$ was expected.
We know that the first expression can be written as $N^{1166}(N^{2862}-1)$. also note that $N^6 + N^3 +1$ is the 9th cyclotomic polynomial. Since $9 \mid 2862$ and by properties of cyclotomics, we conclude the result.
