This is the Triangular Number Sequence:
It is simply the number of dots in each triangular pattern:
- The number '6' is twice as big as '3', so to make the bottom numbers the same we can multiply the top and bottom of the first fraction by 2, like this: × 2: 1 3 = 2 6.
- A random number generator, like the ones above, is a device that can generate one or many random numbers within a defined scope. Random number generators can be hardware based or pseudo-random number generators. Hardware based random-number generators can involve the use of a dice, a coin for flipping, or many other devices.
By adding another row of dots and counting all the dots we can
find the next number of the sequence.
- The first triangle has just one dot.
- The second triangle has another row with 2 extra dots, making 1 + 2 = 3
- The third triangle has another row with 3 extra dots, making 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
- The fourth has 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
- etc!

A Rule
We can make a 'Rule' so we can calculate any triangular number.
Mixed numbers: Enter as 1 1/2 which is one and one half or 25 3/32 which is twenty five and three thirty seconds. Keep exactly one space between the whole number and fraction and use a forward slash to input fractions. You can enter up to 3 digits in length for each whole number, numerator or denominator (123 456/789).
First, rearrange the dots like this:
Then double the number of dots, and form them into a rectangle:
Now it is easy to work out how many dots: just multiply n by n+1
Dots in rectangle = n(n+1)
But remember we doubled the number of dots, so
Dots in triangle = n(n+1)/2

Rule: xn = n(n+1)/2
Numbers 3:6-10
Mac app blocker 3 1 5 – password protect apps. Example: the 5th Triangular Number is
x5 = 5(5+1)/2 = 15
Example: the 60th is
x60 = 60(60+1)/2 = 1830
Wasn't it much easier to use the formula than to add up all those dots? Abbyy finereader online.
Example: You are stacking logs.
There is enough ground for you to lay 22 logs side-by-side.
Numbers 3:6-12
How many logs can you fit in the stack?
x22 = 22(22+1)/2 = 253
The stack may be dangerously high, but you can fit 253 logs in it!
