%N Integers k such that the k-th triangular number t_k has all its base-12 digits contained in {1,5,7,11}.

%C In base 12 all primes greater than 3 end in the digits 1, 5, 7, E, where X is 10 and E is 11. They are the digits that satisfy GCD(d,12)=1.

%C The sequence in base 12 is: 1, 11, 51, 6X, 62X, 186X, 1891, 5351, E751, EE51, 14711, 14E2X, 18711, 188XX, 19851, 49451, E4E6X, 119E11, 185891, 185E11, 33762X, 394E2X, 6X2351, 6E08XX, EE7751, 11460XX, 1608E6X, 3433E51, 1163E591, 14850051, 14E7632X, 1608E311, 18331451, 1870E191, 1974E311, ..., . Note that all elements end in 1 or X. The corresponding triangular numbers after the first end in the digits 17 or 77, but not respectively.

%F k is a term if the k-th triangular number t_k = k*(k+1)/2 has its base-12 digits contained in {1,5,7,11}.

%F A000217(a(n)) = A118706(n), or equivalently, a(n) = (sqrt(8*A118706(n)+1)-1)/2. - _Amiram Eldar_, Aug 02 2024

%e 82 = 6X_12 is a term since the triangular number t=82*(82+1)/2 = 3403 = 1E77_12.
