Sum of the first 616 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 616 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 616 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 616 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 616 square numbers, we enter n = 616 into our formula to get this:

		616(616 + 1) × (2(616) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 616(616 + 1) equals 380072 and (2(616) + 1) equals 1233. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		380072 × 1233
		6

Next, we calculate 380072 times 1233 which equals 468628776. Now our problem looks like this:

		468628776
		6

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

468628776 ÷ 6 = 78104796

There you go. The sum of the first 616 square numbers is 78104796.
