1. Translate the rounding statement into a possible range for the product.

Since the product rounds to 202100202100 to the nearest hundred,
202050≤n(n+1)<202150.202050 \leq n(n+1) < 202150.

2. Find the consecutive integers whose product lies in the range.

Test consecutive integers near 202100\sqrt{202100}.

449×450=202050449 \times 450 = 202050

This lies in the range, so the integers are 449449 and 450450.

Their sum is
449+450=899.449+450=899.

Answer

899899
