Sum of the first 712 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 712 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 712 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 712 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 712 square numbers, we enter n = 712 into our formula to get this:

		712(712 + 1) × (2(712) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 712(712 + 1) equals 507656 and (2(712) + 1) equals 1425. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		507656 × 1425
		6

Next, we calculate 507656 times 1425 which equals 723409800. Now our problem looks like this:

		723409800
		6

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

723409800 ÷ 6 = 120568300

There you go. The sum of the first 712 square numbers is 120568300.
