Sum of the first 3963 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 3963 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 3963 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 3963 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 3963 square numbers, we enter n = 3963 into our formula to get this:

		3963(3963 + 1) × (2(3963) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 3963(3963 + 1) equals 15709332 and (2(3963) + 1) equals 7927. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		15709332 × 7927
		6

Next, we calculate 15709332 times 7927 which equals 124527874764. Now our problem looks like this:

		124527874764
		6

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

124527874764 ÷ 6 = 20754645794

There you go. The sum of the first 3963 square numbers is 20754645794.
