PE 0012: Highly Divisible Triangular Number
The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers. So the
Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:
\begin{align} \mathbf{1} &\colon 1\ \mathbf{3} &\colon 1,3\ \mathbf{6} &\colon 1,2,3,6\ \mathbf{10} &\colon 1,2,5,10\ \mathbf{15} &\colon 1,3,5,15\ \mathbf{21} &\colon 1,3,7,21\ \mathbf{28} &\colon 1,2,4,7,14,28 \end
We can see that
What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
