Are you finding all integers n such that n divides ?

If so, all positive integers n satisfy your condition as .

My problem is:How many integer can be find that divisor of
5n^11-2n^5-3n for all positive integer value of n?

They are all factors of 90.

With the aid of modulo arithmetic, it is easy to check that is divisible by 2, 5 and 9 simultaneously, so the expression is divisible by and of course the factors of 90 as well for all positive integers n.

When n = 1 and 2, the expression equal and respectively. As 113 and 2459 are primes, the greatest common divisor of 10170 and 885240 is 90. It proves no other integer can satisfy the required property.
