Problem Statement

Let nn{} be a natural number and ff{} be polynomial with integer coefficients. It is known that for any integer mm{} there is an integer kk{} such that f(k)mf(k)-m is divisible by nn{}. Prove that there exists a polynomial gg{} with integer coefficients such that f(g(m))mf(g(m))-m is divisible by nn{} for any integer mm{}.
