%N Smallest triangular number ending in n ones.

%C If a triangular number ends in like digits then it can only end in 0's, 1's, 5's or 6's.

%C The sequence is infinite because the sequence of triangular numbers 21, 2211, 222111, 22221111, ... (A319170) is infinite.

%e a(2) = 1711 because 1711 is the smallest triangular number ending in 2 '1's.
