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 229 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 229 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 229 square numbers using the formula.
The formula to calculate the first n square numbers is displayed below:
To calculate the sum of the first 229 square numbers, we enter n = 229 into our formula to get this:
First, calculate each section of the numerator: 229(229 + 1) equals 52670 and (2(229) + 1) equals 459. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:
Next, we calculate 52670 times 459 which equals 24175530. Now our problem looks like this:
Finally, divide the numerator by the denominator to get our answer:
24175530 ÷ 6 = 4029255
There you go. The sum of the first 229 square numbers is 4029255.
