s can be written as n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 1 + n 2 1 + ( n + 1 ) 2 1 upon some expanding 1 + n 2 1 + ( n + 1 ) 2 1 = ( n 2 + n ) 2 ( n 2 + n ) 2 + ( n + 1 ) 2 + n 2 = n 2 + n ( n 2 + n ) 2 + ( n + 1 ) 2 + n 2 upon more expnding ( n 2 + n ) 2 + ( n + 1 ) 2 + n 2 = n 4 + 2 n 3 + 3 n 2 + 2 n + 1 what a symmetry. now lets see a chart of some expansions we can see the symmetry for any such expansion. it could easily be proved why. so,we find that n 4 + 2 n 3 + 3 n 2 + 2 n + 1 = n 2 + n + 1 now plug this in the original expression to get n 2 + n ( n 2 + n ) 2 + ( n + 1 ) 2 + n 2 = n 2 + n n 2 + n + 1 expand n 2 + n n 2 + n + 1 = 1 + n 2 + n 1 = 1 + n 1 − n + 1 1 take this back to the summation to get n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 ( 1 + n 1 − n + 1 1 ) write it as n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 ( 1 ) + n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 ( n 1 ) − n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 ( n + 1 1 ) it becomes 2 0 1 4 + ( 1 + 2 1 + 3 1 . . . . . . + 2 0 1 3 1 + 2 0 1 4 1 ) − ( 2 1 + 3 1 . . . . . . . + 2 0 1 4 1 + 2 0 1 5 1 ) after massive cancellation,it becomes 2 0 1 4 + 1 − 2 0 1 5 1 = 2 0 1 5 − 2 0 1 5 1 = 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 5 2 − 1 using the identity a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b ) 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 5 2 − 1 = 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 4 × 2 0 1 6 and 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 6 + 2 0 1 5 = 3 × 2 0 1 5 = 6 0 4 5
Thanx bro that table is really helpful.

S = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 1 + n 2 1 + ( n + 1 ) 2 1 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 k 2 ( k + 1 ) 2 k 2 ( k + 1 ) 2 + ( k + 1 ) 2 + k 2 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 k 2 ( k + 1 ) 2 k 4 + 2 k 3 + 3 k 2 + 2 k + 1 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 k 2 ( k + 1 ) 2 ( k 2 + k + 1 ) 2 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 k ( k + 1 ) k 2 + k + 1 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 ( 1 + k ( k + 1 ) 1 ) = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 4 ( 1 + k 1 − k + 1 1 ) = 2 0 1 4 + 1 1 − 2 0 1 5 1 = 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 5 2 − 1 = 2 0 1 5 ( 2 0 1 5 + 1 ) ( 2 0 1 5 − 1 ) = 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 6 ⋅ 2 0 1 4
⟹ a + b + c = 2 0 1 6 + 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 5 = 6 0 4 5
