How would you do it?

Algebra Level 4

n = 1 2015 n 10 = ? \large \sum _{ n=1 }^{ 2015 }{ \left\lfloor \frac { \sqrt { n } }{ 10 } \right\rfloor } = \ ?


The answer is 5064.

We have that, 10 ( x 1 ) n < 10 x , x Z + ( x 1 ) n 10 < x [ n 10 ] = x 1 x = 1 [ n 10 ] = 0 [ 0 n < 100 ] x = 2 [ n 10 ] = 1 [ 100 n < 400 ] x = 3 [ n 10 ] = 2 [ 400 n < 900 ] x = 4 [ n 10 ] = 3 [ 900 n < 1600 ] x = 5 [ n 10 ] = 4 [ 1600 n < 2016 ] 10(x-1)\leq \sqrt{n}<10x,\forall\ x\in Z^{+}\\ \Longrightarrow (x-1)\leq \dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{10}<x\\ \Longrightarrow \left[ \dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{10}\right]=x-1\\ x=1 \Longrightarrow \left[ \dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{10}\right]=0 [0 \leq n<100]\\ x=2 \Longrightarrow \left[ \dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{10}\right]=1 [100 \leq n <400]\\ x=3 \Longrightarrow \left[ \dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{10}\right]=2 [400 \leq n <900]\\ x=4 \Longrightarrow \left[ \dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{10}\right]=3 [900 \leq n <1600]\\ x=5 \Longrightarrow \left[ \dfrac{\sqrt{n}}{10}\right]=4 [1600 \leq n <2016] ,the final answer can be calculated as follows, 100 × 0 + 300 × 1 + 500 × 2 + 700 × 3 + 416 × 4 = 5064 100 \times 0+300\times 1+500\times 2+ 700\times 3+416\times 4=5064 .And done!

What is the final answer?

Lol you didn't complete your solution and asked the challenge master to check it. It seems funny that the challenge master is asking for the final answer.

Actually, you had a slight error in your solution. The first term is 99 0 not 100 0, for 1-99 gives 99 numbers. However, this wouldn't affect your answer.
