- Source: Centered pentagonal number
A centered pentagonal number is a centered figurate number that represents a pentagon with a dot in the center and all other dots surrounding the center in successive pentagonal layers. The centered pentagonal number for n is given by the formula

106, 141, 181, 226, 276,
331, 391, 456, 526, 601,

Properties
The parity of centered pentagonal numbers follows the pattern odd-even-even-odd, and in base 10 the units follow the pattern 1-6-6-1.
Centered pentagonal numbers follow the following recurrence relations:
