Sum of the first 632 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 632 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 632 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 632 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 632 square numbers, we enter n = 632 into our formula to get this:

		632(632 + 1) × (2(632) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 632(632 + 1) equals 400056 and (2(632) + 1) equals 1265. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		400056 × 1265
		6

Next, we calculate 400056 times 1265 which equals 506070840. Now our problem looks like this:

		506070840
		6

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

506070840 ÷ 6 = 84345140

There you go. The sum of the first 632 square numbers is 84345140.
