Sum of the first 323 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 323 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 323 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 323 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 323 square numbers, we enter n = 323 into our formula to get this:

		323(323 + 1) × (2(323) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 323(323 + 1) equals 104652 and (2(323) + 1) equals 647. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		104652 × 647
		6

Next, we calculate 104652 times 647 which equals 67709844. Now our problem looks like this:

		67709844
		6

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

67709844 ÷ 6 = 11284974

There you go. The sum of the first 323 square numbers is 11284974.
