835 and Level 1

835 is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple, 501-668-835, which is 167 times (3-4-5).

835 can be written as the difference of two squares two different ways:

  • 418² – 417² = 835
  • 86² – 81² = 835

835 can be written as the sum of consecutive numbers three different ways.

  • 417 + 418 = 835; that’s two consecutive numbers.
  • 165 + 166 + 167 + 168 + 169 = 835; that’s five consecutive numbers.
  • 79 + 80 + 81 + 82 + 83 + 84 + 85 + 86 + 87 + 88 = 835; that’s ten consecutive numbers.
