Sum of the first 703 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 703 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 703 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 703 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 703 square numbers, we enter n = 703 into our formula to get this:

		703(703 + 1) × (2(703) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 703(703 + 1) equals 494912 and (2(703) + 1) equals 1407. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		494912 × 1407
		6

Next, we calculate 494912 times 1407 which equals 696341184. Now our problem looks like this:

		696341184
		6

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

696341184 ÷ 6 = 116056864

There you go. The sum of the first 703 square numbers is 116056864.
