The least squares problem appears, among others, in linear models, and it refers to inconsistent system of linear equations. A crucial question is how to reduce the least squares solution in such a system to the usual solution in a consistent one. Traditionally, this is reached by differential calculus. We present a purely algebraic approach to this problem based on some identities for nonhomogeneous quadratic forms.
