Abstract :
The number which can be represented by a regular geometrical arrangement of equally spaced point is defined as figurate number. Each of polygonal, centered polygonal and pyramidal numbers is a class of the series of figurate numbers. In this paper, we obtain the periods of polygonal, centered polygonal and pyramidal numbers by reducing each element of these numbers modulo m.
Keywords :
