Sum of the first 783 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 783 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 783 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 783 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 783 square numbers, we enter n = 783 into our formula to get this:

		783(783 + 1) × (2(783) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 783(783 + 1) equals 613872 and (2(783) + 1) equals 1567. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		613872 × 1567
		6

Next, we calculate 613872 times 1567 which equals 961937424. Now our problem looks like this:

		961937424
		6

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

961937424 ÷ 6 = 160322904

There you go. The sum of the first 783 square numbers is 160322904.
