Comments

This is an irregular tetrahedron T(n,j,k) in which the slice n lists the elements of the j-th antidiagonal of the difference triangle of the divisors of n.

The first row of the slice n is also the n-th row of the triangle A027750.

The bottom entry of the slice n is A187202(n).

The number of elements in the n-th slice is A000217(A000005(n)) = A184389(n).

The sum of the elements of the n-th slice is A273103(n).

The antidiagonal sums give A273262.

If n is a power of 2 the antidiagonals are also the divisors of the powers of 2 from 1 to n in decreasing order, for example if n = 8 the finite sequence of antidiagonals is [1], [2, 1], [4, 2, 1], [8, 4, 2, 1].

First differs from A272121 at a(92).

Examples

			The tables of the first nine positive integers are
  1; 1, 2; 1, 3; 1, 2, 4; 1, 5; 1, 2, 3, 6; 1, 7; 1, 2, 4, 8; 1, 3, 9;
     1;    2;    1, 2;    4;    1, 1, 3;    6;    1, 2, 4;    2, 6;
                 1;             0, 2;             1, 2;       4;
                                2;                1;
For n = 18 the difference table of the divisors of 18 is
  1,  2, 3, 6, 9, 18;
  1,  1, 3, 3, 9;
  0,  2, 0, 6;
  2, -2, 6;
 -4,  8;
 12;
This table read by antidiagonals downwards gives the finite subsequence [1], [2, 1], [3, 1, 0], [6, 3, 2, 2], [9, 3, 0, -2, -4], [18, 9, 6, 6, 8, 12].
