Sum of the first 528 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 528 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 528 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 528 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 528 square numbers, we enter n = 528 into our formula to get this:

		528(528 + 1) × (2(528) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 528(528 + 1) equals 279312 and (2(528) + 1) equals 1057. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		279312 × 1057
		6

Next, we calculate 279312 times 1057 which equals 295232784. Now our problem looks like this:

		295232784
		6

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

295232784 ÷ 6 = 49205464

There you go. The sum of the first 528 square numbers is 49205464.

You may also be interested to know that if you list the first 528 square numbers 1, 2, 9, etc., the 528th square number is 278784.
