%N Faulhaber's triangle: triangle T(k,y) read by rows, giving denominator of the coefficient [m^y] of the polynomial Sum_{x=1..m} x^(k-1).

%C There are many versions of Faulhaber's triangle: search the OEIS for his name. For example, A220862/A220963 is essentially the same as this triangle, except for an initial column of 0's. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 28 2017
