(a−b), (b−c) and (c−a) are factors  since the expression above reduces  to zero if a=b, or b=c or c=a.  ⇒(a−b)^5 +(b−c)^5 +(c−a)^5   =(a−b)(b−c)(c−a)f(a,b,c)  where f(a,b,c) is an expression in a,b and c.

(a−b)^5 +(b−c)^5 +(c−a)^5 =(5/2)(a−b)(b−c)(c−a){(a−b)^2 +(b−c)^2 +(c−a)^2 }
(ab)5+(bc)5+(ca)5=52(ab)(bc)(ca){(ab)2+(bc)2+(ca)2}
