Sum of the first 330 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 330 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 330 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 330 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 330 square numbers, we enter n = 330 into our formula to get this:

		330(330 + 1) × (2(330) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 330(330 + 1) equals 109230 and (2(330) + 1) equals 661. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		109230 × 661
		6

Next, we calculate 109230 times 661 which equals 72201030. Now our problem looks like this:

		72201030
		6

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

72201030 ÷ 6 = 12033505

There you go. The sum of the first 330 square numbers is 12033505.
