Sum of the first 629 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 629 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 629 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 629 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 629 square numbers, we enter n = 629 into our formula to get this:

		629(629 + 1) × (2(629) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 629(629 + 1) equals 396270 and (2(629) + 1) equals 1259. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		396270 × 1259
		6

Next, we calculate 396270 times 1259 which equals 498903930. Now our problem looks like this:

		498903930
		6

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

498903930 ÷ 6 = 83150655

There you go. The sum of the first 629 square numbers is 83150655.
