Sum of the first 1425 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 1425 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1425 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1425 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 1425 square numbers, we enter n = 1425 into our formula to get this:

		1425(1425 + 1) × (2(1425) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1425(1425 + 1) equals 2032050 and (2(1425) + 1) equals 2851. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		2032050 × 2851
		6

Next, we calculate 2032050 times 2851 which equals 5793374550. Now our problem looks like this:

		5793374550
		6

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

5793374550 ÷ 6 = 965562425

There you go. The sum of the first 1425 square numbers is 965562425.
