A ferry boat shuttles tourists to an island every hour starting at 10 AM until its last trip, which starts at 3 PM. One day the boat captain notes that on the 10 AM trip there were $ 100$ tourists on the ferry boat, and that on each successive trip, the number of tourists was $ 1$ fewer than on the previous trip. How many tourists did the ferry take to the island that day? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 585\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 594\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 672\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 679\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 694$

Let $ S(n) $ be the sum of the squares of the positive integers less than and coprime to $ n $. For example, $ S(5) = 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 $, but $ S(4) = 1^2 + 3^2 $. Let $ p = 2^7 - 1 = 127 $ and $ q = 2^5 - 1 = 31 $ be primes. The quantity $ S(pq) $ can be written in the form $$ \frac{p^2q^2}{6}\left(a - \frac{b}{c} \right) $$ where $ a $, $ b $, and $ c $ are positive integers, with $ b $ and $ c $ coprime and $ b < c $. Find $ a $.
