+ * 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:
+ * <p>
+ * 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...
+ * <p>
+ * Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:
+ * <p>
+ * 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.
+ * <p>
+ * What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
+ * <p>
