Sum of the first 275 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 275 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 275 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 275 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 275 square numbers, we enter n = 275 into our formula to get this:

		275(275 + 1) × (2(275) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 275(275 + 1) equals 75900 and (2(275) + 1) equals 551. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		75900 × 551
		6

Next, we calculate 75900 times 551 which equals 41820900. Now our problem looks like this:

		41820900
		6

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

41820900 ÷ 6 = 6970150

There you go. The sum of the first 275 square numbers is 6970150.
