some short and selected math problems of different levels in random order I try to keep the ans simple
we have
2n^3+3n^2 + n = n(2n^2+3n +1) = n(2n+1)(n+1)
= n((n-1) + (n+2))(n+1) = (n-1)n(n+1) + n(n+1)(n+2)
(n-1)n(n+1) is product of 3 consecutive integers and hence divisible by 6 and so is n(n+1)(n+2) and hence the sum is divisible by 6
