Sum of the first 716 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 716 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 716 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 716 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 716 square numbers, we enter n = 716 into our formula to get this:

		716(716 + 1) × (2(716) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 716(716 + 1) equals 513372 and (2(716) + 1) equals 1433. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		513372 × 1433
		6

Next, we calculate 513372 times 1433 which equals 735662076. Now our problem looks like this:

		735662076
		6

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

735662076 ÷ 6 = 122610346

There you go. The sum of the first 716 square numbers is 122610346.

You may also be interested to know that if you list the first 716 square numbers 1, 2, 9, etc., the 716th square number is 512656.
