Let q = 3 p − 5 2 q = \frac{3p-5}{2} q = 2 3 p − 5 where p p p is an odd prime, and let
S q = 1 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 4 + 1 5 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 7 + ⋯ + 1 q ( 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)}. S q = 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 4 1 + 5 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 7 1 + ⋯ + q ( q + 1 ) ( q + 2 ) 1 .
Prove that if 1 p − 2 S q = m n \frac{1}{p} - 2S_q = \frac{m}{n} p 1 − 2 S q = n m for integers m m m and n n n , then m − n m-n m − n is divisible by p p p .
