Sum of the first 464 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 464 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 464 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 464 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 464 square numbers, we enter n = 464 into our formula to get this:

		464(464 + 1) × (2(464) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 464(464 + 1) equals 215760 and (2(464) + 1) equals 929. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		215760 × 929
		6

Next, we calculate 215760 times 929 which equals 200441040. Now our problem looks like this:

		200441040
		6

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

200441040 ÷ 6 = 33406840

There you go. The sum of the first 464 square numbers is 33406840.
