Q) Determine all ways the integer 2015 can be written as a sum of
(more than one) consecutive positive integers. Prove that you have
found all possible combinations.
I was thinking of using Gauss' formula where
Sum=n(n+1)2 Since we want the sum to be 2015 then 2015=n(n+1)2 and then we are left with 4030=n(n+1)=n2+n
but then I got stuck. Any ideas?
