Sum of the first 571 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 571 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 571 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 571 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 571 square numbers, we enter n = 571 into our formula to get this:

		571(571 + 1) × (2(571) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 571(571 + 1) equals 326612 and (2(571) + 1) equals 1143. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		326612 × 1143
		6

Next, we calculate 326612 times 1143 which equals 373317516. Now our problem looks like this:

		373317516
		6

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

373317516 ÷ 6 = 62219586

There you go. The sum of the first 571 square numbers is 62219586.
