Triangular numbers .....

In this note , lets denote the nth term of the triangular number sequence as Tn . First lets take the sequence 3,6,15,28,55,78..... . We could observe that these numbers are T2 , T3 , T5, T7, T11,T13 .......... i.e the prime number term . So, the relation that can be seen between the sequences : S1 = 3,6,15,28,55,78 and S2 = 2,3,5,7,11,13 is 3x2 = 6, 5x3=15, 7x4=28 , 11x5=55 , 13x6=78 except the number 2. I hope that you can understand this property

Second, in the sequence 0,1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36,45,55,66..... We could see that 0,1 are divisible by 1. 3,6 are divisible by 3. 10,15 are divisible by 5. 21,28 are divisible by 7. 36,45 are divisible by 9 ............. Hence ,we can understand that if n is an odd term, then nth term and n-1th term would be divisible by n.

Sorry to my followers who would have expected much in this note !!!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
