/**
* Problem 12 - Highly divisible triangular number
*
* https://projecteuler.net/problem=11
*
* 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?
