USAMO 2010 Problem 5

  • Day 2

Let q=3p−52q = \frac{3p-5}{2} where pp is an odd prime, and let Sq=12⋅3⋅4+15⋅6⋅7+⋯+1q(q+1)(q+2).S_q = \frac{1}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4} + \frac{1}{5 \cdot 6 \cdot 7} + \dots + \frac{1}{q(q+1)(q+2)}. Prove that if 1p−2Sq=mn\frac{1}{p} - 2S_q = \frac{m}{n} for integers mm and nn, then m−nm-n is divisible by pp.
