Prove that there is a positive integer that can be written as the sum of squares of positive integers in two different ways. There are lots of such positive integers. 65 and 85 are the two smallest examples: 65 = 1 + 64 = 1² + 8² 65 = 16 + 49 = 4² + 7² 85 = 4 + 81 = 2² + 9² 85 = 36 + 49 = 5² + 7² Here's one that can be written as the sum of squares in three different ways: 325 = 1 + 324 = 1² + 18² 325 = 36 + 289 = 6² + 17² 325 = 100 + 225 = 10² + 15² Here's one that can be written as the sum of squares in four different ways: 1105 = 16 + 1089 = 4² + 33² 1105 = 81 + 1024 = 9² + 32² 1105 = 144 + 961 = 12² + 31² 1105 = 529 + 576 = 23² + 24² Here's one that can be written as the sum of squares in five different ways: 5525 = 49 + 5476 = 7² + 74² 5525 = 196 + 5329 = 14² + 73² 5525 = 484 + 5041 = 22² + 71² 5525 = 625 + 4900 = 25² + 70² 5525 = 1681 + 3844 = 41² + 62² Edwin
