P(x) is a polynomial with integer coefficient . 
Let , P(x) = axⁿ + a1.x(n-1) + a2.x(n-2) ........... + an.1 

P(n) is divisble by n , it means this is possible only when ,
if P(x) has no constant term . 
example : P(x) = x³ + x² + x
if we put x = n 
P(n) = n³ + n² + n
= n( n² + n +1) is divisible by n . 


hence, P(0) = 0
