Harry J. Smith, Table of n, a(n) for n=1,...,1000

FORMULA

a(n) = floor((sqrt(2*n*(n+1) + 1) - 1) / 2)

EXAMPLE

1+2+3+4+5 <= 6+7+8 and as 1+2+3+4+5+6 > 7+8 we have a(8) = 5.

PROG

(PARI) { for (n=1, 1000, a=(sqrt(2*n*(n + 1) + 1) - 1) \ 2; write("b064506.txt", n, " ", a) ) } [From Harry J. Smith, Sep 17 2009]
