The function ⌊x⌋:R→Z\lfloor x \rfloor: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} refers to the greatest integer smaller than or equal to xx. For example, ⌊2.3⌋=2\lfloor 2.3 \rfloor = 2 and ⌊−5⌋=−5\lfloor -5 \rfloor = -5.

x,yx, y and zz are complex numbers such that

{x+y+z=46(x−y)2+(y−z)2+(z−x)2=xyz. \begin{cases} x + y + z & = 46 \\ (x-y)^2 + (y-z)^2 + (z-x) ^ 2 & = xyz.\\ \end{cases}

What is the value of x3+y3+z3xyz \frac{ x^3 + y^3 + z^3} { xyz} ?
