Sum of the first 1088 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 1088 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1088 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1088 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 1088 square numbers, we enter n = 1088 into our formula to get this:

		1088(1088 + 1) × (2(1088) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1088(1088 + 1) equals 1184832 and (2(1088) + 1) equals 2177. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		1184832 × 2177
		6

Next, we calculate 1184832 times 2177 which equals 2579379264. Now our problem looks like this:

		2579379264
		6

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

2579379264 ÷ 6 = 429896544

There you go. The sum of the first 1088 square numbers is 429896544.
