Sum of the first 563 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 563 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 563 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 563 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 563 square numbers, we enter n = 563 into our formula to get this:

		563(563 + 1) × (2(563) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 563(563 + 1) equals 317532 and (2(563) + 1) equals 1127. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		317532 × 1127
		6

Next, we calculate 317532 times 1127 which equals 357858564. Now our problem looks like this:

		357858564
		6

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

357858564 ÷ 6 = 59643094

There you go. The sum of the first 563 square numbers is 59643094.
