Problem Statement
There is a polynomial
P
P
P
such that for every real number
x
x
x
,
x
512
+
x
256
+
1
=
(
x
2
+
x
+
1
)
P
(
x
)
.
x^{512} + x^{256} + 1 = (x^2 + x + 1) P(x).
x
512
+
x
256
+
1
=
(
x
2
+
x
+
1
)
P
(
x
)
.
When
P
P
P
is written in standard polynomial form, how many of its coefficients are nonzero?
