Problem

Let $ABC$ be a triangle which sides are $a$, $b$, $c$. We divide each side of the triangle in $n$ equal segments. Let $S$ be the sum of the squares of the distances from each vertex to each of the points dividing the opposite side different from the vertices.

Prove that $\frac{S}{a^2+b^2+c^2}$ is rational.
