Find Consecutive Integers with Sum of Squares Calculator

This calculator identifies consecutive integers, consecutive odd integers, or consecutive even integers whose combined sum of squares equals a specified value. This is just the opposite of calculating the sum of squares of consecutive integers, but the difficulty has increased a lot. Maybe you can easily calculate the sum of squares of consecutive integers, but you may be stumped by the problem of finding consecutive integers based on the given sum of squares. Therefore, a free calculator for finding consecutive integers based on the sum of squares is necessary.

Example: find two consecutive positive integers sum of whose squares is 365.

Assuming that N is used to represent the first integer, then the second integer can be represented by N + 1, so two consecutive positive integers sum of whose squares is 365 can be represented by an equation

N² + (N + 1)² = 365

This is a quadratic equation in one variable, we can solve this equation and get the value of the first integer.

N² + (N + 1)² = 365

N² + N² + 2 * N + 1 = 365

2 * N² + 2 * N + 1 = 365

2 * N² + 2 * N + 1 – 365 = 365 – 365

2 * N² + 2 * N – 364 = 0

N² + N – 182 = 0

(N – 13) * (N + 14)  = 0

N = 13 or N = -14

Therefore, the value of the first integer is 13 or -14, then the second integer is N + 1 = 14 or -13.

The answer came out, these two positive integers are 13 and 14, negative integers are -14 and -13.

This is a relatively common method. The key is to solve the quadratic equation. If the number of consecutive integers to be calculated is greater than 2, instead of 2, the calculation process will be more complicated, but the overall idea is still the same.

Putting aside these two consecutive integers, we use their average A to replace them. Therefore, the one-dimensional quadratic equation of the first method can be expressed as

A² + A² = 365

2 * A² = 365

A² = 365 / 2

A² = 182.5

Then, use the root calculator to easily calculate out A = 13.5.

Because A is the average of these two consecutive integers, it can be calculated that these two consecutive integers are 13 and 14.

Verification: 13² + 14² = 365. The result is correct.

Summarize the calculation process of the average method:

1. Divide the sum of squares by the number of consecutive integers to get the square of the average.
2. Use the root calculator to calculate the square of the average to get the average.
3. Find consecutive integers that meet the conditions around the average.

This method is much more convenient than the first method, but requires a root calculator to assist.

The sum-squares-based consecutive integers calculator is very simple to use. It can be completed in a few steps. Whether you are a professional or non-professional, you can easily use it. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Enter the sum of squares, which is usually a positive integer.
