Sum of the first 1651 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 1651 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 1651 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 1651 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 1651 square numbers, we enter n = 1651 into our formula to get this:

		1651(1651 + 1) × (2(1651) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 1651(1651 + 1) equals 2727452 and (2(1651) + 1) equals 3303. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		2727452 × 3303
		6

Next, we calculate 2727452 times 3303 which equals 9008773956. Now our problem looks like this:

		9008773956
		6

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

9008773956 ÷ 6 = 1501462326

There you go. The sum of the first 1651 square numbers is 1501462326.
