COMMENTS
Triangular numbers in A045619, except A045619(1)=0. The sequence is infinite because A029549 is a subsequence. According to Melissen's comment in A097571, y > x-7.
The sequence of x's producing a(n): A227026.
a(2) and a(3) have two representations:
a(2) = 120 = 5*4*3*2 = 6*5*4.
a(3) = 210 = 7*6*5 = 15*14.
EXAMPLE
990 is in the sequence since 990 = 11!/8! = 11*10*9 is a ratio of factorials and 990 = (44)(44 + 1)/2 is a triangular number.
