Recurrent Relations for Multiple of Triangular Numbers being Triangular Numbers

Abstract

We search for triangular numbers that are multiples of other triangular numbers. It is found that for any positive non-square integer multiplier, there is an infinity of multiples of triangular numbers that are triangular numbers and recurrent relations are deduced theoretically. If the multiplier is a squared integer, there is either one or no solution, depending on the multiplier value.
