Find an integer x that satisfies the equation   x^5 −101x^3 −999x^2 +100900=0

$${Find}\:{an}\:{integer}\:{x}\:{that}\:{satisfies}\:{the}\:{equation}\: \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{5}} −\mathrm{101}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{999}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{100900}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

The solution is factor of 100900.  So on trying x=10 is one solution.  That also means that x−10 is a factor  of  x^5 −101x^3 −999x^2 +100900  By synthetic division we can determine  other factor:   determinant (((10)),1,0,(−101),(−999),0,(+100900)),(,,(10),(+100),(−10),(−10090),(−100900)),(,1,(10),(−1),(−1009),(−10090),([      0)))  So the other factor is           x^4 +10x^3 −x^2 −1009x−10090  The rest roots of the given equation are the  roots of   x^4 +10x^3 −x^2 −1009x−10090=0  Trying all the possible integer factors of 10090  we learn that there is no other integer solution.  So x=10
