A248686 Triangular array of multinomial coefficients: T(n,k) = n!/(n(1)!*n(2)!* ... *n(k)!), where n(i) = floor((n + i - 1)/k) for i = 1 .. k.

T(n,k) is the number of permutations p of [n] such that p(i)Alois P. Heinz, Feb 09 2023

Examples

			First seven rows:
  1
  1    2
  1    3     6
  1    6    12   24
  1   10    30   60    120
  1   20    90  180    360    720
  1   35   210  630   1260   2520   5040
  ...
Writing floor as [ ], the numbers comprising row 4 are
T(4,1) = 4!/[4/1]! = 24/24 = 1
T(4,2) = 4!/([4/2]![5/2]!) = 24/(2*2) = 6
T(4,3) = 4!/([4/3]![5/3]![6/3]!) = 24/(1*1*2) = 12
T(4,4) = 4!/([4/4]![5/4]![6/4]![7/4]!) = 24/(1*1*1*1) = 24.
