Sum of the first 730 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 730 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 730 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 730 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 730 square numbers, we enter n = 730 into our formula to get this:

		730(730 + 1) × (2(730) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 730(730 + 1) equals 533630 and (2(730) + 1) equals 1461. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		533630 × 1461
		6

Next, we calculate 533630 times 1461 which equals 779633430. Now our problem looks like this:

		779633430
		6

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

779633430 ÷ 6 = 129938905

There you go. The sum of the first 730 square numbers is 129938905.

You may also be interested to know that if you list the first 730 square numbers 1, 2, 9, etc., the 730th square number is 532900.
