n=number ... n+100=a^2 ... n+268=b^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b^2-a^2=168 ... (b-a)(b+a)=168\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "factors of 168 ... 1,168 ... 2,84 ... 3,56 ... 4,42 ... 6,28 ... 8,21 ... 12,14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sum of factors is 2b, so it must be even ... 4,42 gives b=23, a=19 ... 23^2-19^2=168\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n+100=19^2 ... n=261
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
