Same Way Sir, and superb question @Sharky Kesa , nice mixture of both questions. Interesting thing that all 3 questions became level 4.
I factorized into 1/2(300) + 1/100(1+2+3...+299)
Why is my factorization wrong ?

Each one of the terms in the summation is an integer not a fraction because of the greatest integer function or floor (hooks at the bottom) function ⌊ x ⌋ and the least integer function or ceiling (hooks on top) function ⌈ x ⌉ . They are not brackets. ⌊ 1 . 7 ⌋ = 1 , the greatest integer smaller than 1 . 7 or the integer part of 1 . 7 and ⌈ 1 . 2 ⌉ = 2 , the least integer larger than 1 . 2 .

Let S be the sum of the expression, then we have:
S = ⌊ 2 1 ⌋ + ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 1 ⌉ + ⌊ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 ⌋ + ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 3 ⌉ + . . . + ⌊ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 9 8 ⌋ + ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 9 9 ⌉ = k = 0 ∑ 1 4 9 ⌊ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k ⌋ + k = 0 ∑ 1 4 9 ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k + 1 ⌉ = k = 0 ∑ 2 4 ⌊ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k ⌋ + k = 2 5 ∑ 7 4 ⌊ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k ⌋ + k = 7 5 ∑ 1 2 4 ⌊ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k ⌋ + k = 1 2 5 ∑ 1 4 9 ⌊ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k ⌋ + k = 0 ∑ 2 4 ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k + 1 ⌉ + k = 2 5 ∑ 7 4 ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k + 1 ⌉ + k = 7 5 ∑ 1 2 4 ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k + 1 ⌉ + k = 1 2 5 ∑ 1 4 9 ⌈ 2 1 + 1 0 0 2 k + 1 ⌉ = 2 5 ( 0 ) + 5 0 ( 1 ) + 5 0 ( 2 ) + 2 5 ( 3 ) + 2 5 ( 1 ) + 5 0 ( 2 ) + 5 0 ( 3 ) + 2 5 ( 4 ) = 0 + 5 0 + 1 0 0 + 7 5 + 2 5 + 1 0 0 + 1 5 0 + 1 0 0 = 6 0 0
