Fractional factorials are defined in terms of the gamma function; for example, ((2*n+1/2)*k)! = Gamma(1 + (2*n+1/2)*k).
Given two sequences of integers c = (c_1, c_2, ..., c_K) and d = (d_1, d_2, ..., d_L) where c_1 + ... + c_K = d_1 + ... + d_L  we can define the factorial ratio sequence u_k(c, d) = (c_1*k)!*(c_2*k)!* ... *(c_K*k)!/ ( (d_1*k)!*(d_2*k)!* ... *(d_L*k)! ) and ask whether it is integral for all k >= 0. The integer L - K is called the height of the sequence. Bober completed the classification of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1. Soundararajan gives many examples of two-parameter families of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 2.
It is usually assumed that the c's and d's are integers but here we allow for some of the c's and d's to be half-integers. See A276098 for further examples of this type.
Each row sequence of the present table is an integral factorial ratio sequence of height 2.
Conjecture: each row sequence of the table satisfies the supercongruences u(n*p^r) == u(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r)) for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers n and r.

Compare with A364303 and A364518.
Given two sequences of integers c = (c_1, c_2, ..., c_K) and d = (d_1, d_2, ..., d_L), where c_1 + ... + c_K = d_1 + ... + d_L, we can define the factorial ratio sequence u_n(c, d) = (c_1*n)!*(c_2*n)!* ... *(c_K*n)!/ ( (d_1*n)!*(d_2*n)!* ... *(d_L*n)! ) and ask whether it is integral for all n >= 0. The integer L - K is called the height of the sequence. Bober completed the classification of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1 (see A295431).
Each row of the present table is an integral factorial ratio sequence of height 1. It is usually assumed that the c's and d's are integers but here some of the c's and d's are half-integers. See A276098 and the cross references there for further examples of this type.
It is known that A005810, the unsigned version of row 1, satisfies the supercongruences u(n*p^r) == u(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r)) for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers n and r. We conjecture that each row sequence of the table satisfies the same supercongruences.

T(n,k) = Sum_{j = 0..3*k} binomial((n+3)*k, j)*binomial(n*k-j-1, 3*k-j).
For n >= 3, T(n,k) = binomial(n*k-1,3*k) * hypergeom([-(n+3)*k, -3*k], [1 - n*k], -1) = ((n+3)*k)!*((n-3)*k/2)!/(((n+3)*k/2)!*((n-3)*k)!*(3*k)!) by Kummer's Theorem.
The row generating functions are algebraic functions over the field of rational functions Q(x).
