find the smallest $n>1$ such that : $n(n+1)(2n+1)=6m^{2}$

Problem :

find the smallest natural number $n>1$ such that :

$$n(n+1)(2n+1)=6m^{2}~~,m\in\mathbb{N}$$

I don't know the method to find $n$ but I try many time

$$n=1,2,3,....,24$$

Then I find $n=24$

$$24.25.49=6.70^{2}$$

Another try :

$$n\equiv r\pmod{6}~~,r=1,..,5$$

$n=6k$ then $k(6k+1)(12k+1)=m^{2}$

So $k,6k+1,12k+1$ is perfect square in same time I find $k=4$ so $n=24$ Also for all $n=6k+r$ I can't find $n$ ?

So I'm going to see you solution Thanks!
