Problem:
|
||
|
||
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
||
1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 10^2 = 385
|
||
|
||
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
||
(1 + 2 + ... + 10)^2 = 552 = 3025
|
||
|
||
Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural
|
||
numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 − 385 = 2640.
|
||
|
||
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first N natural
|
||
numbers and the square of the sum.
