The final digit of a triangular number is 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, or 8, and thus such numbers never end in 2, 4, 7, or 9. A final 3 must be preceded by a 0 or 5; a final 8 must be preceded by a 2 or 7. In base 10, the digital root of a nonzero triangular number is always 1, 3, 6, or 9. Hence, every triangular number is either divisible by three or has a ...
The left hand side of this equation is in the form of a triangular number, and as the product of three squares, the right hand side is square. [5] The generating function for the square triangular numbers is: [6] + (+) = + + +
In some cases, such as s = 10 and t = 4, there are no numbers in both sets other than 1. The problem of finding numbers that belong to three polygonal sets is more difficult. A computer search for pentagonal square triangular numbers has yielded only the trivial value of 1, though a proof that there are no other such numbers has yet to be found ...
The nth pentagonal number p n is the number of distinct dots in a pattern of dots consisting of the outlines of regular pentagons with sides up to n dots, when the pentagons are overlaid so that they share one vertex. For instance, the third one is formed from outlines comprising 1, 5 and 10 dots, but the 1, and 3 of the 5, coincide with 3 of ...
The maximum number of pieces, p obtainable with n straight cuts is the n-th triangular number plus one, forming the lazy caterer's sequence (OEIS A000124) The maximum number p of pieces that can be created with a given number of cuts n (where n ≥ 0) is given by the formula
Each layer represents one of the first five triangular numbers. A tetrahedral number, or triangular pyramidal number, is a figurate number that represents a pyramid with a triangular base and three sides, called a tetrahedron. The n th tetrahedral number, Te n, is the sum of the first n triangular numbers, that is,
To transform from the n-square (the square of size n) to the (n + 1)-square, one adjoins 2n + 1 elements: one to the end of each row (n elements), one to the end of each column (n elements), and a single one to the corner. For example, when transforming the 7-square to the 8-square, we add 15 elements; these adjunctions are the 8s in the above ...
Geometric representation of the square pyramidal number 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 = 30. A pyramidal number is the number of points in a pyramid with a polygonal base and triangular sides. [1] The term often refers to square pyramidal numbers, which have a square base with four sides, but it can also refer to a pyramid with any number of sides. [2]
