Any triangular number is always at most n/2+1 away from a prime number^[1]

For example the first triangular number 1 should be 1.5 away from another prime number which is true^[2]

The second triangular number which is 3 should be 2 away from another which is true 5 and 2

The third 6 should be 2.5 away, which is also true 5 and 7 are prime

The fourth 10 should be 3 away from any prime which is true for 7 11 and 13^[3]
