<s>[INST] Prove that $n^2(n^2+1)(n^2-1)$ is a multiple of $5$ for any integer $n$. Prove that $n^2(n^2+1)(n^2-1)$ is a multiple of $5$ for any integer $n$.

I was thinking of using induction, but wasn't really sure how to do it.
 [/INST] Notice that $(n^2 - 1)(n^2 + 1) = n^4 - 1$. Fermat's little theorem tells us that $n^4 \equiv 1 \pmod 5$. This means that $n^4 - 1$ is a multiple of $5$ if $n$ is not, and therefore $n^2 (n^4 - 1)$ is also a multiple of $5$. For example, if $n = 2$, then $n^4 - 1 = 15$ and $n^2 (n^2 - 1)(n^2 + 1) = 60$.
This leaves us the case where $n$ is a multiple of $5$ to consider. Obviously $n^4 - 1$ is not a multiple of $5$. But $n^2$ is. For example, $n = 5$ gives us $15600$.
