Sum of the first 108 square numbers

We define square numbers as numbers that when squared will equal a whole number. Thus, the list of the first square numbers starts with 1, 4, 9, 16, and so on.

What is the sum of the first 108 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 108 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 108 square numbers using the formula.

The formula to calculate the first n square numbers is displayed below:

		n(n + 1) × (2(n) + 1)
		6

To calculate the sum of the first 108 square numbers, we enter n = 108 into our formula to get this:

		108(108 + 1) × (2(108) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 108(108 + 1) equals 11772 and (2(108) + 1) equals 217. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		11772 × 217
		6

Next, we calculate 11772 times 217 which equals 2554524. Now our problem looks like this:

		2554524
		6

Finally, divide the numerator by the denominator to get our answer:

2554524 ÷ 6 = 425754

There you go. The sum of the first 108 square numbers is 425754.
