Sum of the first 643 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 643 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 643 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 643 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 643 square numbers, we enter n = 643 into our formula to get this:

		643(643 + 1) × (2(643) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 643(643 + 1) equals 414092 and (2(643) + 1) equals 1287. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		414092 × 1287
		6

Next, we calculate 414092 times 1287 which equals 532936404. Now our problem looks like this:

		532936404
		6

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

532936404 ÷ 6 = 88822734

There you go. The sum of the first 643 square numbers is 88822734.
