A '''triangular number''' or '''triangle number''' (T<sub>''n''</sub>) is a number of the form ''n''(''n'' + 1)/2 where ''n'' is a nonnegative integer. It equals the sum of integers starting at 1 up to ''n'', and is the amount of objects in a dense planar equilateral arrangement. A [[superparticular ratio]] whose numerator is a triangular number is a [[triangle-particular]].
