Sum of the first 532 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 532 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 532 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 532 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 532 square numbers, we enter n = 532 into our formula to get this:

		532(532 + 1) × (2(532) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 532(532 + 1) equals 283556 and (2(532) + 1) equals 1065. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		283556 × 1065
		6

Next, we calculate 283556 times 1065 which equals 301987140. Now our problem looks like this:

		301987140
		6

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

301987140 ÷ 6 = 50331190

There you go. The sum of the first 532 square numbers is 50331190.
