Abstract

Sums of M consecutive squared integers (a+i)² equaling squared integers (for a≥1, 0≤ i≤ M-1) yield certain linear groupings of pairs (a₁,a₂) of a values for successive same values of M when these are linked by a₁+a₂=μM+1 with μ=(η/δ)∈\mathbbℚ⁺. In this paper, congruent conditions on M,η,δ, and on the difference (a₂-a₁) are demonstrated for these linear groupings to hold. It is found that η≡1(mod 2) and δ≡0,1 or 5(mod 6), and if δ≡0(mod 6), M≡0(mod 12), while if δ≡1 or 5(mod 6), M≡2 or 11(mod 12) with a₁ and a₂ being of different or same parities.
