Sum of the first 635 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 635 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 635 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 635 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 635 square numbers, we enter n = 635 into our formula to get this:

		635(635 + 1) × (2(635) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 635(635 + 1) equals 403860 and (2(635) + 1) equals 1271. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		403860 × 1271
		6

Next, we calculate 403860 times 1271 which equals 513306060. Now our problem looks like this:

		513306060
		6

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

513306060 ÷ 6 = 85551010

There you go. The sum of the first 635 square numbers is 85551010.
