Sum of the first 650 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 650 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 650 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 650 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 650 square numbers, we enter n = 650 into our formula to get this:

		650(650 + 1) × (2(650) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 650(650 + 1) equals 423150 and (2(650) + 1) equals 1301. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		423150 × 1301
		6

Next, we calculate 423150 times 1301 which equals 550518150. Now our problem looks like this:

		550518150
		6

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

550518150 ÷ 6 = 91753025

There you go. The sum of the first 650 square numbers is 91753025.
