* Problem 12 - Highly divisible triangular number
3+
*
4+
* https://projecteuler.net/problem=11
5+
*
6+
* The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers.
7+
* So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28.
8+
*
9+
* The first ten terms would be: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...
10+
* Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:
11+
*
12+
* 1: 1
13+
* 3: 1,3
14+
* 6: 1,2,3,6
15+
* 10: 1,2,5,10
16+
* 15: 1,3,5,15
17+
* 21: 1,3,7,21
18+
* 28: 1,2,4,7,14,28
19+
*
20+
* We can see that 28 is the first triangle number to have over five divisors.
21+
*
22+
* What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
