%N Number of divisors of n-th triangular number.

%C a(n) = 4 iff either n is in A005383 or n/2 is in A005384.

%C a(n) is odd iff n is in A001108.

%C a(n) = 6 if either n = 18 or n = q^2 where q is in A048161 or n = 2 q^2 - 1 where q is in A106483. - _Robert Israel_, Oct 26 2015

%C From _Bernard Schott_, Aug 29 2020: (Start)

%C a(n-1) is the number of solutions in positive integers (x, y, z) to the simultaneous equations (x + y - z = n, x^2 + y^2 - z^2 = n) for n > 1. See the British Mathematical Olympiad link. In this case, one always has z > x and z > y.

%C For n = 12 as in the Olympiad problem, the a(11) = 8 solutions are (13,78,79), (14,45,47), (15,34,37), (18,23,29), (23,18,29), (34,15,37), (45,14,47), (78,13,79). (End)

%F a(n) = A000005(A000217(n)).

%F From _Robert Israel_, Oct 26 2015: (Start)

%F a(2k) = A000005(k)*A000005(2k+1).

%F a(2k+1) = A000005(2k+1)*A000005(k+1).

%F gcd(a(2k), a(2k+1)) = A000005(2k+1) * A060778(k). (End)

%e a(6) = 4 since 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21 has four divisors {1,3,7,21}.
