The numbers in the sequence 101, 104, 109, 116, …101,\,104,\,109,\,116,\,\ldots are of the form an=100+n2a_n=100+n^2, where n=1,2,3,…n=1,2,3,\ldots. For each nn, let dnd_n be the greatest common divisor of ana_n and an+1a_{n+1}. Let kk be the maximum value of dnd_n as nn ranges over the positive integers. Find the value of k−120\dfrac{k-1}{20}.
