COMMENTS
The decomposition of a nonzero Bernoulli number in the Staudt-Clausen format is B(n) = A000146(n) - sum_k 1/A080092(n,k) with a set of primes A080092 characterizing the right hand side.
If we multiply this equation by the product of the primes for a given n (which is in A002445), discard the left hand side, and list individually the terms associated with A000146 and each of the k, we get row n of the current triangle .

EXAMPLE
The decomposition of B_10 is 5/66 = 1-1/2-1/3-1/11. Multiplied by the product 2*3*11=66 of the denominators this becomes 5=66-33-22-6, and the 4 terms on the right hand side become one row of the table.
