Sum of the first 307 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 307 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 307 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 307 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 307 square numbers, we enter n = 307 into our formula to get this:

		307(307 + 1) × (2(307) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 307(307 + 1) equals 94556 and (2(307) + 1) equals 615. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		94556 × 615
		6

Next, we calculate 94556 times 615 which equals 58151940. Now our problem looks like this:

		58151940
		6

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

58151940 ÷ 6 = 9691990

There you go. The sum of the first 307 square numbers is 9691990.
