Sum of the first 1398 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 1398 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1398 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1398 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 1398 square numbers, we enter n = 1398 into our formula to get this:

		1398(1398 + 1) × (2(1398) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1398(1398 + 1) equals 1955802 and (2(1398) + 1) equals 2797. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		1955802 × 2797
		6

Next, we calculate 1955802 times 2797 which equals 5470378194. Now our problem looks like this:

		5470378194
		6

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

5470378194 ÷ 6 = 911729699

There you go. The sum of the first 1398 square numbers is 911729699.
