Sum of the first 1594 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 1594 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1594 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1594 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 1594 square numbers, we enter n = 1594 into our formula to get this:

		1594(1594 + 1) × (2(1594) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1594(1594 + 1) equals 2542430 and (2(1594) + 1) equals 3189. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		2542430 × 3189
		6

Next, we calculate 2542430 times 3189 which equals 8107809270. Now our problem looks like this:

		8107809270
		6

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

8107809270 ÷ 6 = 1351301545

There you go. The sum of the first 1594 square numbers is 1351301545.
