Sum of the first 664 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 664 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 664 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 664 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 664 square numbers, we enter n = 664 into our formula to get this:

		664(664 + 1) × (2(664) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 664(664 + 1) equals 441560 and (2(664) + 1) equals 1329. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		441560 × 1329
		6

Next, we calculate 441560 times 1329 which equals 586833240. Now our problem looks like this:

		586833240
		6

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

586833240 ÷ 6 = 97805540

There you go. The sum of the first 664 square numbers is 97805540.
