hexagonal numbers
Hexagonal numbers are figurate numbers of the form  $n(2n-1)$  (see picture aside).

Every hexagonal number is also triangular number.

The sum of the reciprocals of hexagonal numbers is  $\log 4$.

All the numbers greater than 130 can be written as the sum of 4 hexagonal numbers, and according to Duke and Schulze-Pillot, every number above a certain threshold is the sum of at most 3 hexagonal numbers. The last number that needs 4 addends is probably 146858.

The first hexagonal numbers are 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, 66, 91, 120, 153, 190, 231, 276, 325, 378, 435, 496, 561, 630 more terms
