Sum of the first 310 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 310 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 310 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 310 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 310 square numbers, we enter n = 310 into our formula to get this:

		310(310 + 1) × (2(310) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 310(310 + 1) equals 96410 and (2(310) + 1) equals 621. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		96410 × 621
		6

Next, we calculate 96410 times 621 which equals 59870610. Now our problem looks like this:

		59870610
		6

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

59870610 ÷ 6 = 9978435

There you go. The sum of the first 310 square numbers is 9978435.
