How do I calculate the following summation? \[ \sum_{i = 1}^{\lfloor \sqrt{n} \rfloor} \Bigl \lfloor \frac{n}{i^2} \Bigr \rfloor i^2 \] \[ \sum_{i = 1}^{\lfloor \sqrt[3]{n} \rfloor} \Bigl \lfloor \frac{n}{i^3} \Bigr \rfloor i^3 \]
and generalize for any power?

⌊i2N⌋=1 whenever 1≤i2N<2 The sum can be reduced like this even further. S=1∑⌊2n⌋⌊i2n⌋i2+i=⌊2n⌋∑⌊n⌋1.i2 @Calvin Lin @Agnishom Chattopadhyay Maybe you guys can help further.
