Sum of the first 447 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 447 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 447 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 447 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 447 square numbers, we enter n = 447 into our formula to get this:

		447(447 + 1) × (2(447) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 447(447 + 1) equals 200256 and (2(447) + 1) equals 895. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		200256 × 895
		6

Next, we calculate 200256 times 895 which equals 179229120. Now our problem looks like this:

		179229120
		6

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

179229120 ÷ 6 = 29871520

There you go. The sum of the first 447 square numbers is 29871520.
