Abstract

The triangular numbers are formed by partial sum of the series 1+2+3+4+5+6+7….+n   In other words, triangular numbers are those counting numbers that can be written as  = 1+2+3+…+ n.   So,

T1= 1

T2= 1+2=3

T3= 1+2+3=6

T4= 1+2+3+4=10

T5= 1+2+3+4+5=15

T6= 1+2+3+4+5+6= 21

T7= 1+2+3+4+5+6+7= 28

T8= 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8= 36

T9=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45

T10 =1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=55

 In this paper some important properties of triangular numbers are studied.
