yep absolutely correct :)
This is a rather different solution and probably lengthier. But it's very easy this way. Consider ALL integers between 1and 1729. Their sum will be ((1729)*(1730))/2=1495585. Now, we can represent even numbers as it's previous odd number plus 1. i.e 2=1+1,800=799+1 Like this, the equation will then be 2(1+2+3+.......+1727)+864+1729=1495585. (no. Of 1's will be 1728/2=864) 2(1+2+3....+1727)=1492992 1+2+3+...+1727=746496 Adding 1729, 1+2+3+.....+1727+1729=748255. Hence, sum of digits is 28.
S S 2 S = = = 1 1 7 2 9 1 7 3 0 + + + 3 1 7 2 7 1 7 3 0 + + + 5 1 7 2 5 1 7 3 0 + + + … … … + + + 1 7 2 9 1 1 7 3 0
There are 865 terms in the series. Therefore,
2 S S S = = = 1 7 3 0 ⋅ 8 6 5 2 1 7 3 0 ⋅ 8 6 5 7 4 8 2 2 5
great conceptual approach. :))
A little long way :
We can see that the numbers are in AP. So we have a = 1 and d = 2 .We also know that , total number of terms is , 2 1 7 2 9 + 1 = 8 6 5 .
Now applying summation of AP formula , which is , S 8 6 5 = 2 8 6 5 ( 1 7 2 9 + 1 ) = 8 6 5 . 8 6 5 = 7 4 8 2 2 5 hence sum of digits is equal to 7 + 4 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 5 = 2 8
yes this is the explanation for n 2 being the sum of consecutive n odd numbers . upvoted :))
This is a simple A r i t h m e t i c P r o g r e s s i o n .
The number of terms is given by T n = a + ( n − 1 ) ∗ d
So, applying it we get that, 1 7 2 9 = 1 + ( n − 1 ) ∗ 2 → n = 8 6 5
Now, sum of an AP is given by , S n = 2 n ∗ ( a + l )
Thus, the sum of the given AP is S 1 7 2 9 = 2 8 6 5 ∗ ( 1 + 1 7 2 9 )
= 2 8 6 5 ∗ 1 7 3 0 = 8 6 5 2 = 7 4 8 2 2 5
Hence the sum of the digits is 7 + 4 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 5 = 2 8
CHEERS!!

Sum of odd natural numbers till the n t h term is n 2
Number of terms till 1729 is 2 1 7 2 9 + 1 = 8 6 5
Therefore , x = 8 6 5 2
or, x = 7 4 8 2 2 5
Sum of digits is 2 8
