Determine the natural number solutions to the equation below

Find all the natural number solutions to the equation a 2 + a + 100 = n 2 a^{2} + a + 100 = n^{2} .

List all N N solutions ( a , n ) (a, n) to the above equation where a , n a,n belong to the set of natural numbers.

Find the sum of all such ordered pairs ( a , n ) (a,n) , i.e., find i = 1 N ( a i + n i ) \displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{N}(a_{i} + n_{i}) .

Note:

In mathematics, there are two conventions for the set of natural numbers: it is either the set of positive integers {1,2,3,…} according to the traditional definition;

or

the set of non-negative integers {0,1,2,…} according to a definition first appearing in the nineteenth century.

In this problem we need to use the nineteenth century definition..


The answer is 303.
