Determine all pairs of integers , such that there exist infinitely many positive integers for which is an integer. Solution by B. A. Rácz. Let and . First we shall prove that if the condition of the problem is satisfied by a pair then the denominator as a polynomial is a divisor of the numerator, that is . Let us divide the polynomial by , that is, let where either is zero or the degree of the remainder is smaller than that of the divisor: . Since the leading coefficient of the divisor is 1, the quotient and remainder both have integer coefficients. According to the condition, it is true for infinitely many integers that is an integer. It follows from the relation of the degrees that as , and thus the value of this ratio must be 0 for infinitely many integers . This is also true for the numerator, and if the value of the polynomial is 0 at infinitely many points then it must be identically zero. Thus the polynomial is identically zero, and is a divisor of the polynomial . Since the divisibility cannot hold if , we can assume that . Then the polynomial also divides the polynomial | | Since and are coprime and the second factor is also a polynomial according to the assumption, it follows that Let . Then , and it is clear that . Since is a continuous function and , there exists a number , such that , that is . Hence it follows from the divisibility that , and thus If , the second equality cannot be true for any real . If then and thus with the condition above, we have Since , it follows that and . With , this can happen only if and , that is for and , which makes and . For this number pair, on the other hand, . If is a positive integer then , and thus which is an integer for every positive integer . There is one single pair of numbers satisfying the conditions of the problem, namely the pair .
