For a positive integer n, the nth triangular number is T(n)=n(n+1)2.

For example, T(3)=3(3+1)2=3(4)2=6, so the third triangular number is 6.

Determine the smallest integer b>2011 such that T(b+1)T(b)=T(x) for some positive integer .

The smallest b that works is 45^2 = 2025.

T[2016]  -  T[2015]  = 2016 =T[63]

 

T[63] =[63 x 64] / 2 = 2016
