Homework Statement


Proof that for n\geq 5 expression \sum_{i=1}^{n}i! can't be a complete square


The Attempt at a Solution


Mathematical induction maybe?
n=5 \sum_{i=1}^{5}i!=1+2!+3!+4!+5!=152 OK
n\rightarrow n+1 \sum_{i=1}^{n+1}i!=\sum_{i=1}^{n}i!+(n+1)!

One guy said that
Complete square divided by 5 can give the remains 0,1 and 4, but not 3 like here.
But, I don't understand him.

Sorry for bad English.

1+2+6+24+120 = 153 right?
subsequent factorials are all divisible by 10, so dividing by 5 will always give the remainder 3.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
