Problem 12 : Highly divisible triangular number
Problem Statement
The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers. So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28. The first ten terms would be:
\[1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...\]Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:
1: 1
3: 1,3
6: 1,2,3,6
10: 1,2,5,10
15: 1,3,5,15
21: 1,3,7,21
28: 1,2,4,7,14,28
We can see that 28 is the first triangle number to have over five divisors.
What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
Solution
i=1
lt=[]
nd=0
div=dict()
def factors(x):
result = []
i = 1
while i*i <= x:
if x % i == 0:
result.append(i)
if x//i != i:
result.append(x//i)
i += 1
return result
bol=True
while bol:
lt.append(i)
su=sum(lt)
if(len(factors(su))>500):
print(su)
bol=False
break
i=i+1
Output
76576500
