Q. Problem 1 Find the sum of all natural numbers that make the expression 384−12n an integer.
Find n for m2: We need to find natural numbers n such that 384−12n is an integer. Let's call the integer m, so we have m2=384−12n.
Rearrange to solve for n: Rearrange the equation to solve for n: n=12384−m2.
Determine largest possible m: Since m2 must be less than or equal to 384 for n to be a natural number, we find the largest possible integer m by taking the square root of 384. m≤384.
Calculate largest m: Calculate the largest possible integer m: m≤384≈19.5959. So the largest m is 19.
Check values of m: Now we need to find all integer values of m from 1 to 19 that make n a natural number when plugged into n=12384−m2.
Calculate n for each m: Check each value of m from 1 to 19 and calculate n. If n is a natural number, add it to the sum.
Check for natural number n: For m=1: n=(384−12)/12=383/12, which is not a natural number.
