Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of arrangements of n circles in the affine plane forming k regions, excluding the regions that do not belong to the circles.

COMMENTS
In other words: not counting the regions between circles.
Consider the arrangements of n circles described in A250001.
Note that the sum of the 4th row must be equal to A250001(4) = 173.
FORMULA
T(n,k) = A274819(n,k)/k.
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
1;
0, 2, 1;
0, 0, 4, 4, 2, 1, 3;
0, 0, 0, ...
...
For n = 3 and k = 5 there are 2 arrangements of 3 circles in the affine plane forming 5 regions, excluding the regions that do not belong to the circles, so T(3,5) = 2.
For n = 3 and k = 6 there is only one arrangement of 3 circles in the affine plane forming 6 regions, excluding the regions that do not belong to the circles, so T(3,6) = 1.
Of course, there is a right triangle of all zeros starting from the second row.
CROSSREFS
Sum of n-th row = A250001(n).
First differs from A274776 at a(10).
