i = 1 n i = i = 1 n i ( ( i + 1 ) 2 i ) = i = 1 n 2 i 2 + i \large{\sum _{ i=1 }^{ n }{ \left\lfloor \sqrt { i } \right\rfloor } =\sum _{ i=1 }^{ n }{ i\left( { \left( i+1 \right) }^{ 2 }-i \right) } =\sum _{ i=1 }^{ n }{ 2{ i }^{ 2 }+i } }

Now we keep the value of 1 1 and keep going on. We will get upto 6 6 as 203 203 we see the difference is 14 14 and our next i i is 7 7 . So 7 x = 14 7x=14 or x = 2 x=2 . This gives our value of n n as 50 50

((i+1)^(2)-i^(2)) *i

i suppose
