Sum of the first 631 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 631 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 631 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 631 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 631 square numbers, we enter n = 631 into our formula to get this:

		631(631 + 1) × (2(631) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 631(631 + 1) equals 398792 and (2(631) + 1) equals 1263. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		398792 × 1263
		6

Next, we calculate 398792 times 1263 which equals 503674296. Now our problem looks like this:

		503674296
		6

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

503674296 ÷ 6 = 83945716

There you go. The sum of the first 631 square numbers is 83945716.
