Sum of the first 1526 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 1526 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1526 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1526 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 1526 square numbers, we enter n = 1526 into our formula to get this:

		1526(1526 + 1) × (2(1526) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1526(1526 + 1) equals 2330202 and (2(1526) + 1) equals 3053. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		2330202 × 3053
		6

Next, we calculate 2330202 times 3053 which equals 7114106706. Now our problem looks like this:

		7114106706
		6

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

7114106706 ÷ 6 = 1185684451

There you go. The sum of the first 1526 square numbers is 1185684451.
