Sum of the first 704 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 704 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 704 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 704 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 704 square numbers, we enter n = 704 into our formula to get this:

		704(704 + 1) × (2(704) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 704(704 + 1) equals 496320 and (2(704) + 1) equals 1409. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		496320 × 1409
		6

Next, we calculate 496320 times 1409 which equals 699314880. Now our problem looks like this:

		699314880
		6

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

699314880 ÷ 6 = 116552480

There you go. The sum of the first 704 square numbers is 116552480.
