Sum of the first 355 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 355 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 355 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 355 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 355 square numbers, we enter n = 355 into our formula to get this:

		355(355 + 1) × (2(355) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 355(355 + 1) equals 126380 and (2(355) + 1) equals 711. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		126380 × 711
		6

Next, we calculate 126380 times 711 which equals 89856180. Now our problem looks like this:

		89856180
		6

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

89856180 ÷ 6 = 14976030

There you go. The sum of the first 355 square numbers is 14976030.

You may also be interested to know that if you list the first 355 square numbers 1, 2, 9, etc., the 355th square number is 126025.
