Sum of the first 575 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 575 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 575 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 575 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 575 square numbers, we enter n = 575 into our formula to get this:

		575(575 + 1) × (2(575) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 575(575 + 1) equals 331200 and (2(575) + 1) equals 1151. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		331200 × 1151
		6

Next, we calculate 331200 times 1151 which equals 381211200. Now our problem looks like this:

		381211200
		6

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

381211200 ÷ 6 = 63535200

There you go. The sum of the first 575 square numbers is 63535200.
