%X 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.
%K Period
%K polygonal number
%K centered polygonal number
%K pyramidal number.
