Sum of the first 773 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 773 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 773 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 773 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 773 square numbers, we enter n = 773 into our formula to get this:

		773(773 + 1) × (2(773) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 773(773 + 1) equals 598302 and (2(773) + 1) equals 1547. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		598302 × 1547
		6

Next, we calculate 598302 times 1547 which equals 925573194. Now our problem looks like this:

		925573194
		6

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

925573194 ÷ 6 = 154262199

There you go. The sum of the first 773 square numbers is 154262199.
