Sum of the first 768 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 768 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 768 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 768 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 768 square numbers, we enter n = 768 into our formula to get this:

		768(768 + 1) × (2(768) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 768(768 + 1) equals 590592 and (2(768) + 1) equals 1537. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		590592 × 1537
		6

Next, we calculate 590592 times 1537 which equals 907739904. Now our problem looks like this:

		907739904
		6

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

907739904 ÷ 6 = 151289984

There you go. The sum of the first 768 square numbers is 151289984.

You may also be interested to know that if you list the first 768 square numbers 1, 2, 9, etc., the 768th square number is 589824.
