Problem type

Bored out of his mind from being stranded on an island, Tusk has taken to writing down sequences of numbers in the sand. Today, he decided to write down a triangle of numbers, with each row r containing r numbers. When read from top to bottom, left to right, the triangle is made up of consecutive natural numbers starting from 1.

       1
      2 3
     4 5 6
    7 8 9 10
 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21
      ...

Being curious and having nothing better to do, Tusk wonders what the sum of all the numbers on the row that contains the number N is.

Unfortunately, his beach is too small for him to write down such a massive triangle!

Constraints

Subtask 1 [40%]

For 40\% of the points, it will hold that N \le 10^3.

Subtask 2 [60%]

For the remaining 60\% of the points, it will hold that N \le 10^9.

Input Specification

A single integer, N.

Output Specification

The sum of all the numbers on the row of the triangle containing N.

Sample Input

5

Sample Output

15

Explanation

Considering the example triangle, 5 is contained in row 3, which contains the numbers 4+5+6 = 15.

      Clearly your \mathcal{O}(1) is slower than many of these brute force solutions! I could reduce the time limit, but that would mean that you will TLE before these brute force solutions will.

          My "brute force" is faster than your submission now. I could change the time limit, just for your submission, if you really want to go that way.

              What are you talking about? The "brute force" you guys seem to be talking about is \mathcal{O}(\sqrt{N}), which is the intended solution.

            For obvious reasons the time limit can't be changed when the problem is attempted by 50+ people.

      1. You should have public class instead of just class
      2. You should not prompt for input. Match the format exactly as given in the problem.
