Sum of the first 725 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 725 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 725 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 725 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 725 square numbers, we enter n = 725 into our formula to get this:

		725(725 + 1) × (2(725) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 725(725 + 1) equals 526350 and (2(725) + 1) equals 1451. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		526350 × 1451
		6

Next, we calculate 526350 times 1451 which equals 763733850. Now our problem looks like this:

		763733850
		6

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

763733850 ÷ 6 = 127288975

There you go. The sum of the first 725 square numbers is 127288975.
