arithmetic - Factorial, but with addition




Is there a notation for addition form of factorial?



5!=5×4×3×2×1



That's pretty obvious. But I'm wondering what I'd need to use to describe



5+4+3+2+1




like the factorial 5! way.



EDIT: I know about the formula. I want to know if there's a short notation.


Answer



It is called the nth triangle number and it can be written as (n+12), as a binomial coefficient.
