Sum of the first 371 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 371 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 371 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 371 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 371 square numbers, we enter n = 371 into our formula to get this:

		371(371 + 1) × (2(371) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 371(371 + 1) equals 138012 and (2(371) + 1) equals 743. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		138012 × 743
		6

Next, we calculate 138012 times 743 which equals 102542916. Now our problem looks like this:

		102542916
		6

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

102542916 ÷ 6 = 17090486

There you go. The sum of the first 371 square numbers is 17090486.
