%N Difference triangle of factorial numbers read by upward diagonals.
%C This is a subsequence of Euler's difference table A068106 and of A047920 (in a different ordering), since 0! = 1 was left out here. - _Georg Fischer_, Mar 23 2019

%F Take successive difference rows of factorial numbers n! starting with n=1. Reorient into a triangle format.
%e Starting with 1, 2, 6, 24, 120 ... we take the first difference row (A001563), second, third, etc. Reorient into a flush left format, getting:
