  2. Squared triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squared_triangular_number

    The sum within each gmonon is a cube, so the sum of the whole table is a sum of cubes. [6] Visual demonstration that the square of a triangular number equals a sum of cubes. In the more recent mathematical literature, Edmonds (1957) provides a proof using summation by parts. [7]

  3. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares - Wikipedia

    For the avoidance of ambiguity, zero will always be a valid possible constituent of "sums of two squares", so for example every square of an integer is trivially expressible as the sum of two squares by setting one of them to be zero. 1. The product of two numbers, each of which is a sum of two squares, is itself a sum of two squares.

  4. Sum of two squares theorem - Wikipedia

    Therefore, the theorem states that it is expressible as the sum of two squares. Indeed, 2450 = 7 2 + 49 2. The prime decomposition of the number 3430 is 2 · 5 · 7 3. This time, the exponent of 7 in the decomposition is 3, an odd number. So 3430 cannot be written as the sum of two squares.

  5. Square number - Wikipedia

    Square number 16 as sum of gnomons. In mathematics, a square number or perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer; [1] in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, 9 is a square number, since it equals 3 2 and can be written as 3 × 3.

    Perfect numbers are natural numbers that equal the sum of their positive proper divisors, which are divisors excluding the number itself. So, 6 is a perfect number because the proper divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. [2] [4]

  7. Legendre's three-square theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre's_three-square...

    Pierre de Fermat gave a criterion for numbers of the form 8a + 1 and 8a + 3 to be sums of a square plus twice another square, but did not provide a proof. [1] N. Beguelin noticed in 1774 [2] that every positive integer which is neither of the form 8n + 7, nor of the form 4n, is the sum of three squares, but did not provide a satisfactory proof. [3]

  8. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    This quadratic is not a perfect square, since 28 is not the square of 5: (+) = + + However, it is possible to write the original quadratic as the sum of this square and a constant: + + = (+) + This is called completing the square.

  9. Sum of squares function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares_function

    The number of ways to write a natural number as sum of two squares is given by r 2 (n).It is given explicitly by = (() ())where d 1 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 1 modulo 4 and d 3 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 3 modulo 4.
