Sum of the first 565 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 565 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 565 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 565 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 565 square numbers, we enter n = 565 into our formula to get this:

		565(565 + 1) × (2(565) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 565(565 + 1) equals 319790 and (2(565) + 1) equals 1131. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		319790 × 1131
		6

Next, we calculate 319790 times 1131 which equals 361682490. Now our problem looks like this:

		361682490
		6

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

361682490 ÷ 6 = 60280415

There you go. The sum of the first 565 square numbers is 60280415.
