Math Tips : Triangular Number



The First Number is 1
The Second Number is 3  ( 1+2 )
The Third Number is 6 ( Which is the addition of consecutive dots 1+2+3 )

Formula  for finding nth triangular number is  nth = n*(n+1) /2 

 Formula  to find whether the given number is traingular number or not  n = \frac{\sqrt{8x+1}-1}{2}.


if n is an integer ,then x is a triangular number   (Also n denotes that x is nth triangular number)
if n is not an integer , then x is not a triangular number
