Sum of the first 1630 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 1630 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1630 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1630 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 1630 square numbers, we enter n = 1630 into our formula to get this:

		1630(1630 + 1) × (2(1630) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1630(1630 + 1) equals 2658530 and (2(1630) + 1) equals 3261. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		2658530 × 3261
		6

Next, we calculate 2658530 times 3261 which equals 8669466330. Now our problem looks like this:

		8669466330
		6

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

8669466330 ÷ 6 = 1444911055

There you go. The sum of the first 1630 square numbers is 1444911055.
