Problem
When Yunji added all the integers from to , she mistakenly left out a number. Her incorrect sum turned out to be a square number. What number did Yunji leave out?
Solution 1
The sum of the digits from are . Note that one of the answer choices (that is equal to Yunju's digits) subtracted from her sum of must equal a square.
Note that is a very close square to the sum of 45. Checking, we see that works.
Therefore, the missing number is .
