## Description
|
|
|
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
|
|
|
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
|
|
|
|
<div style='text-align: center;'>1<sup>2</sup> + 2<sup>2</sup> + ... + 10<sup>2</sup> = 385</div>
|
|
|
|
|
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
|
|
|
|
<div style='text-align: center;'>(1 + 2 + ... + 10)<sup>2</sup> = 55<sup>2</sup> = 3025</div>
|
|
|
|
|
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 <code>n</code> natural numbers and the square of the sum.
