1110001000(含端点)的整数中,有多少个可以表示为两个非负整数平方的差?

How many of the integers between 11 and 1000,1000, inclusive, can be expressed as the difference of the squares of two nonnegative integers?

答案:750
知识点:平方差奇偶性
难度评级:1890
解答:

n=a2b2=(ab)(a+b)n = a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)。两个因子 aba - ba+ba + b 相差偶数 2b2b,所以它们奇偶性相同。如果二者都是奇数,则 nn 是奇数;如果二者都是偶数,则 4n4 \mid n。因此,没有整数 n2(mod4)n \equiv 2 \pmod 4 能表示为两个平方的差。

反过来,每个奇数 2k+12k + 1 都等于 (k+1)2k2(k+1)^2 - k^2;每个 44 的倍数(设为 4k4k)都等于 (k+1)2(k1)2(k+1)^2 - (k-1)^2(因为 k1k \ge 1,所以 k10k - 1 \ge 0)。

1110001000 之间有 500500 个奇数和 25025044 的倍数,总数为 500+250=750500 + 250 = 750

Write n=a2b2=(ab)(a+b).n = a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b). The factors aba - b and a+ba + b differ by the even number 2b,2b, so they have the same parity. If both are odd, nn is odd; if both are even, 4n.4 \mid n. Hence no integer n2(mod4)n \equiv 2 \pmod 4 is a difference of two squares.

Conversely, every odd number 2k+12k + 1 equals (k+1)2k2,(k+1)^2 - k^2, and every multiple of 4,4, say 4k,4k, equals (k+1)2(k1)2(k+1)^2 - (k-1)^2 (with k10k - 1 \ge 0 since k1k \ge 1).

Between 11 and 10001000 there are 500500 odd numbers and 250250 multiples of 4,4, for a total of 500+250=750.500 + 250 = 750.
