Sum of the first 572 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 572 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 572 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 572 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 572 square numbers, we enter n = 572 into our formula to get this:

		572(572 + 1) × (2(572) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 572(572 + 1) equals 327756 and (2(572) + 1) equals 1145. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		327756 × 1145
		6

Next, we calculate 327756 times 1145 which equals 375280620. Now our problem looks like this:

		375280620
		6

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

375280620 ÷ 6 = 62546770

There you go. The sum of the first 572 square numbers is 62546770.
