Plugging in 1 9 9 0 for x gets us:
1 4 = f ( 1 9 9 0 ) − 9 0 ⌊ 9 0 f ( 1 9 9 0 ) ⌋
Let f ( 1 9 9 0 ) = 9 0 a + b for some integers a and b , with 0 ≤ b < 9 0 .
Then 9 0 ⌊ 9 0 f ( 1 9 9 0 ) ⌋ = 9 0 a , and
1 4 = 9 0 a + b − 9 0 a = b
So we are looking for all positive intgegers between 1 9 0 0 and 2 0 0 0 that are congruent to 1 4 m o d 9 0 . These are 1 9 0 4 and 1 9 9 4 , so their sum is 3 8 9 8 .
