Sum of the first 529 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 529 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 529 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 529 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 529 square numbers, we enter n = 529 into our formula to get this:

		529(529 + 1) × (2(529) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 529(529 + 1) equals 280370 and (2(529) + 1) equals 1059. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		280370 × 1059
		6

Next, we calculate 280370 times 1059 which equals 296911830. Now our problem looks like this:

		296911830
		6

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

296911830 ÷ 6 = 49485305

There you go. The sum of the first 529 square numbers is 49485305.
