A u64 is sufficient for the maximum value of the sum when the limit is a u32. The maximum sum occurs for const factors = [_]u32{1}; const limit = 4_294_967_295 // the maximum value of a u32 and resulting sum of the integers from 1 to 4_294_967_295 is: 9_223_372_034_707_292_160 which is less than the maximum value of a u64: 18_446_744_073_709_551_615

The sum of integers from 1 (inclusive) to n (exclusive) is n(n - 1) / 2 which is always less than n^2. So the sum from 1 to an integer less than 2^32 is always less than 2^64.

This is one of the first exercises for which a user can reasonably use a
HashMap
(as a set of integers). Put this exercise towards the end.A u64 is sufficient for the maximum value of the sum of multiples when the limit is a u32. The maximum sum of multiples occurs for
and the sum of integers from 1 (inclusive) to n (exclusive) is
which is always less than n^2. So the sum from 1 to an integer less than 2^32 is always less than 2^64.
