gollark: Set it equal to `(x-1)(ax^3+bx^2+cx+d)` (the thing you know it's divisible by times the generalized cubic thingy), and expand that out/simplify.
gollark: It would be annoying and inconsistent if it was 0. It's 1.
gollark: It's 1, or the nice neat recursive factorial calculation algorithms would stop working.
gollark: It's not an example, this seems to be true in all cases.
gollark: Oh, they said they don't need to be different, so square numbers are fine I guess.
