Comments

Numbers n such that n! is representable as a sum of a square and a triangular number: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 19, ... .

1! = 1/2*1*(1+1), 3! = 1/2*3*(3+1) and 5! = 1/2*15*(15+1)/2 are triangular terms of the sequence. Next such term, if it exists is greater than 10000!. [Farideh Firoozbakht, Oct 18 2013]

Formula

A014133 INTERSECT A000142. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 11 2014

Example

13! = 66708^2+1/2*59616(59616+1) = 78693^2+1/2*8298(8298+1), so 13! = 6227020800 is in the sequence. What is the next term of the sequence which has more than one representation of the form b^2 + triangular(c)? [Farideh Firoozbakht, Oct 18 2013]
