Sum of the first 1645 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 1645 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1645 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1645 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 1645 square numbers, we enter n = 1645 into our formula to get this:

		1645(1645 + 1) × (2(1645) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1645(1645 + 1) equals 2707670 and (2(1645) + 1) equals 3291. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		2707670 × 3291
		6

Next, we calculate 2707670 times 3291 which equals 8910941970. Now our problem looks like this:

		8910941970
		6

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

8910941970 ÷ 6 = 1485156995

There you go. The sum of the first 1645 square numbers is 1485156995.
