Sum of the first 370 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 370 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 370 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 370 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 370 square numbers, we enter n = 370 into our formula to get this:

		370(370 + 1) × (2(370) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 370(370 + 1) equals 137270 and (2(370) + 1) equals 741. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		137270 × 741
		6

Next, we calculate 137270 times 741 which equals 101717070. Now our problem looks like this:

		101717070
		6

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

101717070 ÷ 6 = 16952845

There you go. The sum of the first 370 square numbers is 16952845.
