The quartic equation a 1 x 4 + a 2 x 3 + a 3 x 2 + a 4 x + a 5 = 0 a_1 x^4 + a_2 x^3 + a_3 x^2 + a_4 x + a_5 = 0 is obviously a biquadratic equation if ( a 2 , a 4 ) = ( 0 , 0 ) (a_2, a_4) = (0,0) .

However, if ( a 2 , a 4 ) = ( 0 , 0 ) (a_2, a_4) = (0,0) is not satisfied, then this same quartic equation can be converted into a biquadratic equation if

m a 2 3 + n a 1 2 a 4 p a 1 a 2 a 3 = 0 m a_2 ^3 + n a_1 ^2 a_4 - p a_1 a_2 a_3 = 0 is satisfied, where m , n , p m,n,p are coprime constant integers.

Calculate m 6 + n 6 p 6 m^6 + n^6 - p^6 .


This is part of the series: " It's easy, believe me! "


The answer is 258049.
