Q45 After 40755, what is the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal?
Triangle, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers are generated by the following formulae:
Triangle T_(n)=n(n+1)/2 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ...
Pentagonal P_(n)=n(3n−1)/2 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ...
Hexagonal H_(n)=n(2n−1) 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...
It can be verified that T_(285) = P_(165) = H_(143) = 40755.
Find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal. |
