We certainly want k 3 to be an integer, so we want n − 4 to divide n 3 − 3 n 2 − 4 n − 3 0 . Since n − 4 n 3 − 3 n 2 − 4 n − 3 0 = n 2 + n − n − 4 3 0 we want n − 4 to divide 3 0 . Thus n − 4 must be one of ± 1 , ± 2 , ± 3 , ± 5 , ± 6 , ± 1 0 , ± 1 5 and ± 3 0 . A simple check finds that only two of these 16 options gives a cubic quotient k 3 . If n − 4 = 1 then n = 5 , k = 0 , and if n − 4 = 2 then n = 6 , k = 3 . Thus the answer is 5 + 6 + 2 = 1 3 .
