%N Expansion of the polynomial (x^15-1)*(x^12-1)*(x^10-1)*(x^9-1)*(x^7-1)*(x^6-1)*(x^4-1)*(x-1) in increasing powers of x.
%C q^120*(q^30-1)*(q^24-1)*(q^20-1)*(q^18-1)*(q^14-1)*(q^12-1)*(q^8-1)*(q^2-1) is the order of the simple group E_8(q), if q is a prime power.
%C If f(x) is the x-polynomial and g(q) the q-polynomial, then g(q) = q^120*f(q^2). - _Jean-François Alcover_, Aug 25 2022
