Faulhaber’s Formulas

The sum of the kth powers of the first n positive integers can be expressed as a polynomial of degree k+1 with rational coefficients, the Faulhaber’s Formulas:
1k+2k++nk=i=1nik=i=1k+1aini=a1n+a2n2++aknk+ak+1nk+1,
where ai‘s are rational coefficients that can be written as reduced fractions pi/qi (if ai = 0, we shall consider qi = 1).

For example, 14+24++n4=130n+13n3+12n4+15n5.

Define D(k) as the value of q1 for the sum of kth powers (i.e. the denominator of the reduced fraction a1).
Define F(m) as the mth value of k ≥ 1 for which D(k) = 20010.
You are given D(4) = 30 (since a1 = -1/30), D(308) = 20010, F(1) = 308, F(10) = 96404.

Find F(105).


福尔哈贝尔公式

前n个正整数的k次幂的和可以用一个k+1次有理系数多项式来表示,称为福尔哈贝尔公式
1k+2k++nk=i=1nik=i=1k+1aini=a1n+a2n2++aknk+ak+1nk+1,
每个系数ai都是有理数,因而可以写成最简形式pi/qi(如果ai = 0,我们约定qi = 1)。

例如,14+24++n4=130n+13n3+12n4+15n5

记D(k)为k次幂的福尔哈贝尔公式中q1的值(也即a1化简后的分母)。
记F(m)为使得D(k) = 20010的第m个k值。
已知D(4) = 30(因为a1 = -1/30),D(308) = 20010,F(1) = 308,F(10) = 96404。

求F(105)。
