【Answer】202
【Solution】First and last term approximation
A=21×61+21+22×62+62+23×63+63+24×64+64+25×65+6521×61+22×62+23×63+24×64+25×65×199=(1+21+62+63+64+6521×61+22×62+23×63+24×64+25×65)×199=199+21+62+63+64+6521×61+22×62+23×63+24×64+25×65×199 \begin{array}{l} A=\frac{21 \times 61+21+22 \times 62+62+23 \times 63+63+24 \times 64+64+25 \times 65+65}{21 \times 61+22 \times 62+23 \times 63+24 \times 64+25 \times 65} \times 199 \\ =\left(1+\frac{21+62+63+64+65}{21 \times 61+22 \times 62+23 \times 63+24 \times 64+25 \times 65}\right) \times 199 \\ =199+\frac{21+62+63+64+65}{21 \times 61+22 \times 62+23 \times 63+24 \times 64+25 \times 65} \times 199 \end{array}

Then $A199+21+22+23+24+25(21+22+23+24+25)×\$A199+\frac{21+22+23+24+25}{(21+22+23+24+25) \times} 65} ×199=199+19965=202465>202\times 199=199+\frac{199}{65}=202 \frac{4}{65}>202

In summary, the integer part of A\mathrm{A} is 202
