  • Answer

Suppose P(x)P(x) is a monic polynomial of degree 2023 such that

P(k)=k2023P(1−1k)P(k)=k^{2023} P\left(1-\frac{1}{k}\right)

for every positive integer 1≤k≤20231 \leq k \leq 2023. Then P(−1)=abP(-1)=\frac{a}{b}, where aa and bb relatively prime integers. Compute the unique integer 0≤n<20270 \leq n<2027 such that bn−ab n-a is divisible by the prime 2027 .
