How many different terms in this sequence? $u_k=\left\lfloor \frac{k^2}{2013}\right\rfloor$, $k=1,2,3...2013$
Thanks so much

Hint: when $k$ is small enough, $(k+1)^2-k^2 \lt 2013$ and the floor will have you hit every number. When $k$ gets larger, the change will be larger than $2103$ and all the values will be distinct. A little thought about the transition and you are there.
Each $k$ is different, so the answer should be $2013$ right?
