Abstract: In 1882 J.J. Sylvester already proved, that the number of different ways to partition a positive integer into consecutive positive integers exactly equals the number of odd divisors of that integer (see [1]). We will now develop an interesting statement about triangular numbers, those positive integers which can be partitioned into consecutive numbers beginning at 1. For every partition of a triangular number n into consecutive numbers we can partition the sequence of numbers beginning at 1, adding up to n again, such that every part of this partition adds up to exactly one number of the chosen partition of n.
