312500051 = ( 50 ) 5 + 50 + 1. 312500051 = (50)^{5} + 50 + 1.

Let 50 = x 50 = x .

Now,

x 3 1 ( m o d x 2 + x + 1 ) x^3 \equiv {1}\pmod {x^2 + x + 1}

\Rightarrow x 5 + x + 1 x 3 . x 2 + x + 1 x 2 + x + 1 0 ( m o d x 2 + x + 1 ) {x^5 + x + 1}\equiv {x^3.x^2 +x + 1}\equiv {x^2 + x + 1}\equiv {0}\pmod{x^2 + x + 1}

Therefore x 2 + x + 1 x 7 + x + 1 x^2 + x + 1 | x^7 + x + 1 .

\Rightarrow 5 0 2 + 50 + 1 5 0 5 + 50 + 1 50^2 + 50 + 1 | 50^5 + 50 + 1

\Rightarrow 2551 312500051 2551 | 312500051 .

Therefore 2551 \boxed{2551} is the answer.
