%N Numbers k such that the k-th triangular number has exactly four distinct prime factors.

%C Or, indices of triangular numbers with exactly four distinct prime factors.

%F a(n)=k and T(k)=k(k+1)/2=p*q*r*s for some k, p, q, r, s where T(k) is a triangular number and p, q, r, s are distinct primes.

%e In order of increasing p (the least prime factor of T(k)):

%e a(1) = 20 because T(20) = 210 = 2* 3* 5* 7,

%e a(5) = 65 because T(65) = 2145 = 3* 5*11*13,

%e a(21) = 154 because T(154) = 11935 = 5* 7*11*31,

%e a(45) = 286 because T(286) = 41041 = 7*11*13*41,

%e a(143)= 781 because T(781) = 305371 = 11*17*23*71,

%e a(91) = 493 because T(493) = 121771 = 13*17*19*29, etc.
