Thank you. Last edited by skipjack; September 19th, 2018 at 10:27 AM.

I think we can simplify this a bit and get rid of the "x", computer or not. If we have $\displaystyle n^2$ then we can get the next square (integer) by adding 2n + 1. ie. $\displaystyle (n + 1)^2 = (n^2) + (2n + 1)$

Similar for the cube:
$\displaystyle (n + 1)^3 = (n^3) + (3n^2 + 3n + 1)$

That means that x² = 4m² - 4m + 1 = 2(2m² - 2m) + 1 = 2n + 1, where n = 2(m² - m). If you have no objection, I'll correct your error in the original post, so that the thread can be shortened. Thanks from Ak23
