Find all integers n for which the fraction n ^ 3 + 2010 / (n ^ 2 + 2010) is equal to integer.

Which values immediately come to your mind?
 


Right, those are the only two that are easy to find. Another possibility would have been to find an integer such that n^3 + 2010=0 but there are none. If you have any programming skill you could try and brute force it with a relatively easy to implement algorithm.
