  2. Triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_number

    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 ...

  3. Square triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_triangular_number

    Consequently, a square number is also triangular if and only if + is square, that is, there are numbers and such that =. This is an instance of the Pell equation x 2 − n y 2 = 1 {\displaystyle x^{2}-ny^{2}=1} with n = 8 {\displaystyle n=8} .

  4. Figurate number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figurate_number

    a number represented as a discrete r-dimensional regular geometric pattern of r-dimensional balls such as a polygonal number (for r = 2) or a polyhedral number (for r = 3). a member of the subset of the sets above containing only triangular numbers, pyramidal numbers , and their analogs in other dimensions.

  5. Squared triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squared_triangular_number

    A square whose side length is a triangular number can be partitioned into squares and half-squares whose areas add to cubes. From Gulley (2010).The n th coloured region shows n squares of dimension n by n (the rectangle is 1 evenly divided square), hence the area of the n th region is n times n × n.

  6. Pell number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

    which is both the t-th triangular number and the s-th square number. A near-isosceles Pythagorean triple is an integer solution to a 2 + b 2 = c 2 where a + 1 = b. The next table shows that splitting the odd number H n into nearly equal halves gives a square triangular number when n is even and a near isosceles Pythagorean triple when n is odd ...

  7. Centered triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centered_triangular_number

    Each centered triangular number has a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, and the quotient (if positive) is the previous regular triangular number. Each centered triangular number from 10 onwards is the sum of three consecutive regular triangular numbers. For n > 2, the sum of the first n centered triangular numbers is the magic constant for an n ...

  8. Triangular distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution

    This distribution for a = 0, b = 1 and c = 0.5—the mode (i.e., the peak) is exactly in the middle of the interval—corresponds to the distribution of the mean of two standard uniform variables, that is, the distribution of X = (X 1 + X 2) / 2, where X 1, X 2 are two independent random variables with standard uniform distribution in [0, 1]. [1]

  9. Archimedes's cattle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes's_cattle_problem

    The second part of the problem states that + is a square number, and + is a triangular number. The general solution to this part of the problem was first found by A. Amthor [ 11 ] in 1880. The following version of it was described by H. W. Lenstra , [ 5 ] based on Pell's equation : the solution given above for the first part of the problem ...
