Sum of the first 628 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 628 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 628 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 628 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 628 square numbers, we enter n = 628 into our formula to get this:

		628(628 + 1) × (2(628) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 628(628 + 1) equals 395012 and (2(628) + 1) equals 1257. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		395012 × 1257
		6

Next, we calculate 395012 times 1257 which equals 496530084. Now our problem looks like this:

		496530084
		6

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

496530084 ÷ 6 = 82755014

There you go. The sum of the first 628 square numbers is 82755014.
