Sum of the first 1381 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 1381 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1381 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1381 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 1381 square numbers, we enter n = 1381 into our formula to get this:

		1381(1381 + 1) × (2(1381) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1381(1381 + 1) equals 1908542 and (2(1381) + 1) equals 2763. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		1908542 × 2763
		6

Next, we calculate 1908542 times 2763 which equals 5273301546. Now our problem looks like this:

		5273301546
		6

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

5273301546 ÷ 6 = 878883591

There you go. The sum of the first 1381 square numbers is 878883591.
