Comments

These are the coefficients when the chromatic polynomial of the icosahedron (see A296917) is divided by x*(x-1)*(x-2)*(x-3).

Examples

			The reduced chromatic polynomial is x^8-24*x^7+260*x^6-1670*x^5+6999*x^4-19698*x^3+36408*x^2-40240*x+20170.
Multiplying by x*(x-1)*(x-2)*(x-3) and expanding we get the chromatic polynomial for the icosahedron, which is x^12 - 30*x^11 + 415*x^10 - 3500*x^9 + 20023*x^8 - 81622*x^7 + 241605*x^6 - 517360*x^5 + 780286*x^4 - 782108*x^3 + 463310*x^2 - 121020*x.
