Sum of the first 1577 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 1577 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1577 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1577 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 1577 square numbers, we enter n = 1577 into our formula to get this:

		1577(1577 + 1) × (2(1577) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1577(1577 + 1) equals 2488506 and (2(1577) + 1) equals 3155. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		2488506 × 3155
		6

Next, we calculate 2488506 times 3155 which equals 7851236430. Now our problem looks like this:

		7851236430
		6

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

7851236430 ÷ 6 = 1308539405

There you go. The sum of the first 1577 square numbers is 1308539405.
