COMMENTS
There are several sequences of integers of the form ceiling(n^2/k) for whose partial sums we can establish identities as following (only for k = 2,...,8,10,11,12, 14,15,16,19,20,23,24).

FORMULA
a(n) = round((2*n+1)*(n^2 + n + 42)/138).
a(n) = floor((2*n^3 + 3*n^2 + 85*n + 90)/138).
a(n) = ceiling((2*n^3 + 3*n^2 + 85*n - 6)/138).
a(n) = a(n-23) + (n+1)*(n-23) + 202.

EXAMPLE
a(23) = 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 15 + 16 + 18 + 20 + 22 + 23 = 202.
