A positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers. A138591: Erdős–Nicolas numbers: 24, 2016, 8190, 42336, 45864, 392448, 714240, 1571328, ... A number n such that there exists another number m and , =. A194472: Solution to Stepping Stone Puzzle
The transitivity of M implies that the integers and integer sequences inside M are actually integers and sequences of integers. An integer sequence is a definable sequence relative to M if there exists some formula P ( x ) in the language of set theory, with one free variable and no parameters, which is true in M for that integer sequence and ...
A Young diagram representing visually a polite expansion 15 = 4 + 5 + 6. In number theory, a polite number is a positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers.
Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. A number (i.e., integer) expressed in the decimal numeral system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd. That is, if the last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, then it is odd; otherwise it is even—as the last digit of any even number is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
In number theory and combinatorics, a partition of a non-negative integer n, also called an integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. (If order matters, the sum becomes a composition.)
A pronic number is a number that is the product of two consecutive integers, that is, a number of the form (+). [1] The study of these numbers dates back to Aristotle.They are also called oblong numbers, heteromecic numbers, [2] or rectangular numbers; [3] however, the term "rectangular number" has also been applied to the composite numbers.
Composite numbers have also been called "rectangular numbers", but that name can also refer to the pronic numbers, numbers that are the product of two consecutive integers. Yet another way to classify composite numbers is to determine whether all prime factors are either all below or all above some fixed (prime) number.
For the sum of squares of consecutive integers, see Square pyramidal number; For representing an integer as a sum of squares of 4 integers, see Lagrange's four-square theorem; Legendre's three-square theorem states which numbers can be expressed as the sum of three squares
