BALTIC-WAY 2013 Problem 2

  • Answer

Let kk and nn be positive integers and let x1,x2,…,xk,y1,y2,…,ynx_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{k}, y_{1}, y_{2}, \ldots, y_{n} be distinct integers. A polynomial PP with integer coefficients satisfies

P(x1)=P(x2)=…=P(xk)=54P\left(x_{1}\right)=P\left(x_{2}\right)=\ldots=P\left(x_{k}\right)=54

and

P(y1)=P(y2)=…=P(yn)=2013.P\left(y_{1}\right)=P\left(y_{2}\right)=\ldots=P\left(y_{n}\right)=2013 .

Determine the maximal value of knk n.
