-- Highly divisible triangular number

-- Problem 12
-- The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers.
-- So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28.
-- The first ten terms would be:

-- 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...

-- Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:

--  1: 1
--   3: 1,3
--    6: 1,2,3,6
--    10: 1,2,5,10
--    15: 1,3,5,15
--    21: 1,3,7,21
--    28: 1,2,4,7,14,28
--    We can see that 28 is the first triangle number to have over five divisors.

-- What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
