n = 0 2016 n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) ( n + 4 ) ( n + 5 ) n 9 + 1 = \displaystyle \sum_{n = 0}^{2016} \left \lfloor \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)(n + 3)(n + 4)(n + 5)}{n^9 +1} \right \rfloor = n = 0 3 n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) ( n + 4 ) ( n + 5 ) n 9 + 1 = \displaystyle \sum_{n = 0}^{3} \left \lfloor \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)(n + 3)(n + 4)(n + 5)}{n^9 +1} \right \rfloor = 0 + 6 ! 2 + 7 ! 513 + 8 ! 2 19684 = 0 + 360 + 9 + 1 = 370 0 + \lfloor \frac{6!}{2} \rfloor + \lfloor \frac{7!}{513} \rfloor + \lfloor \frac{8!}{2\cdot19684} \rfloor = 0 + 360 + 9 + 1 = \boxed{370} Note.- Let p : N R p:\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} such that p ( n ) = n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) ( n + 4 ) ( n + 5 ) n 9 + 1 , n N . p(n) = \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)(n + 3)(n + 4)(n + 5)}{n^9 +1}, \space \forall n \in \mathbb{N} . Dividing numerator and denominator by n 6 , n 1 n^6, \space \forall n \ge 1 we'll get p ( n ) = 1 ( 1 + 1 / n ) ( 1 + 2 / n ) ( 1 + 3 / n ) ( 1 + 4 / n ) ( 1 + 5 / n ) n 3 + 1 / n 6 p(n) = \frac{1(1 + 1/n)(1 + 2/n)(1 + 3/n)(1 + 4/n)(1 + 5/n)}{n^3 +1/n^6} the numerator of p ( n ) p(n) is a strictly decreasing function n 4 \forall n \ge 4 and the denominator of p ( n ) p(n) is a strictly increasing function n 4 \forall n \ge 4 and this implies that the function p ( n ) p(n) is a strictly decreasing function n 4 \forall n \ge 4 and p ( 4 ) < 2 2 2 2 ( 2 + 1 / 4 ) 4 3 = 36 64 < 1 p(4) < \frac{2\cdot2 \cdot2\cdot2 \cdot (2 + 1/4)}{4^3} = \frac{36}{64} < 1 ...
