Example

Let S(k, m) denote the sum of m triangular numbers starting from k(k+1)/2. We have
a(1) = S(1, 1);
a(2) = S(4, 1) = S(1, 3);
a(3) = S(31, 4) = S(27, 5) = S(9, 15);
a(4) = S(945, 22) = S(571, 56) = S(968, 21) = S(131, 266);
a(5) = S(4109, 38947) = S(25213, 20540) = S(10296, 32943) = S(32801, 15834) = S(31654, 16472).
