Let $x,\,y,\,z$ be integers such that $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2=xyz$, prove that $x^3+y^3+z^3$ is divisible by $x+y+z+6$.

The equation is $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2=xyz$ yields $x^3+y^3+z^3$.
In this context, "Prove Divisibility" means to show that the equation $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2=xyz$ yields $x^3+y^3+z^3$ is true for all values of x, y, and z.
The equation $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2=xyz$ yields $x^3+y^3+z^3$ is significant because it shows a relationship between the difference of three numbers and their product and sum. It also has applications in number theory and algebraic geometry.
The divisibility of the equation $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2=xyz$ yields $x^3+y^3+z^3$ can be proven using mathematical induction or by using algebraic manipulation to show that the equation holds true for all values of x, y, and z.
The equation $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2=xyz$ yields $x^3+y^3+z^3$ has potential applications in number theory, algebraic geometry, and cryptography. It can also be used to solve problems involving the sum and product of three numbers.
