4)Hexagonal Pyramidal numbers(six sides)
5)Heptagonal Pyramidal numbers(seven sides)

1)Tringular pyramidal number:
=>It is known as tetrahedral pyramidal numbers.
First few tetrahedral numbers are:
1,4,10,20,35....
Formula to represent Tetrahedral numbers is:
=>Tn=n(n+1)(n+2)/6
It can also be given as:(n+2)C3











2)Square Pyrmidal number:
=>Square Pyramidal or simply pyramid number is a figurate number which represents number of stacked spheres in a pyramid wi square phase.
Few Square Pyramidal numbers are:

Armstrong Number

Information: Armstrong number is the sum of cubes of all its digits taken separately.
Example:371, here cube of 3=27, cube of 7 is 343 and cube of 1 is 1.
So 27+343+1=>371.

Other 3 digit Armstrong numbers are:
153,370,371,407.

No two digit Armstrong numbers are available.
