Let  $p(x)$  be a polynomial of degree strictly less than  $100$  and such that it does not have  $(x^3-x)$  as a factor. If   $$ \frac{d^{100}}{dx^{100}}\bigg(\frac{p(x)}{x^3-x}\bigg)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} $$   for some polynomials  $f(x)$  and  $g(x)$  then find the smallest possible degree of  $f(x)$ .
