Examples
Triangle begins: 1; 1, 2; 3, 1; 1, 2, 4; 5, 1; 3, 1, 2, 6; 7, 1; 1, 2, 4, 8; 9, 3, 1; 5, 1, 2, 10; 11, 1; 3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12; 13, 1; 7, 1, 2, 14; 15, 5, 3, 1; 1, 2, 4, 8, 16; 17, 1; 9, 3, 1, 2, 6, 18; 19, 1; 5, 1, 2, 4, 10, 20; 21, 7, 3, 1; 11, 1, 2, 22; 23, 1; 3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24; 25, 5, 1; 13, 1, 2, 26; 27, 9, 3, 1; 7, 1, 2, 4, 14, 28; ... For n = 12 the divisors of 12 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12]. The odd divisors of 12 in decreasing order are [3, 1], and the even divisors of 12 in increasing order are [2, 4, 6, 12], so the 12th row of triangle is [3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12]. On the other hand, consider the diagram that appears in the Links section (figure 1). Then consider only the semicircumferences that contain the point [12,0]. In the second quadrant, from bottom to top, we can see the curves with diameters [4, 12]. Also we can see these curves in the fourth quadrant from top to bottom. The associated numbers c = 12/d are [3, 1] respectively. These are the odd divisors of 12 in decreasing order. Then, in the first quadrant, from top to bottom, we can see the curves with diameters [6, 3, 2, 1]. Also we can see these curves in the third quadrant from bottom to top. The associated numbers c = 12/d are [2, 4, 6, 12] respectively. These are the even divisors of n in increasing order. Finally all numbers c obtained are [3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12] equaling the 12th row of triangle.
