Let the "Almost same" square number be x 2 and n be the first 3 digits of the number. Then,
x 2 = 1 0 0 0 n + ( n + 1 ) = 1 0 0 1 n + 1 → x 2 − 1 ≡ 0 ( m o d 1 0 0 1 )
Because of 1 0 0 1 = 7 × 1 1 × 1 3 , the equation can be changed into
⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ ( x − 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ≡ 1 ( m o d 7 ) ( x − 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ≡ 1 ( m o d 1 1 ) ( x − 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ≡ 1 ( m o d 1 3 ) → ⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ x ≡ ± 1 ( m o d 7 ) x ≡ ± 1 ( m o d 1 1 ) x ≡ ± 1 ( m o d 1 3 )
After consider different cases You will get these answers: x ≡ 1 , 1 5 5 , 2 7 4 , 4 2 8 , 5 7 3 , 7 2 7 , 8 4 6 , 1 0 0 0 ( m o d 1 0 0 1 ) . However, by definition,
1 0 0 0 0 0 < x 2 < 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 → 3 1 6 < x < 1 0 0 0
Therefore, x = 4 2 8 , 5 7 3 , 7 2 7 , 8 4 6 and the answer is 4 2 8 2 + 5 7 3 2 + 7 2 7 2 + 8 4 6 2 = 1 8 3 1 8 4 + 3 2 8 3 2 9 + 5 2 8 5 2 9 + 7 1 5 7 1 6 = 1 7 5 5 7 5 8
