COMMENTS
For the denominators see A278716.
The Dedekind sums are s(h,k) = Sum_{r=1..k-1} (r/k)*(h*r/k - floor(h*r/k) - 1/2) = Sum_{r=1..k-1} ((r/k))*((h*r)/k) with the period 1 sawtooth function ((x)) = x - floor(x) - 1/2 if x is not an integer and 0 otherwise. One assumes gcd(h,k) = 1, and for other h, k values the table has 0's. See the references Apostol pp. 52, 61-69, 72-73 and Ayoub pp. 168, 191. See also the Weisstein link.
In order to have a regular triangle T(k, h) one starts with k >= 2 and h = 1, 2, ..., k-1. s(1,1) = 0.

FORMULA
T(k ,h) = numerator(s(h,k)) with the Dedekind sums s(h,k) given in a comment above and gcd(h,k) = 1. k >=2, h = 1, 2, ..., k-1. If gcd(h,k) is not 1 then T(k,h) is put to 0 (in the example o is used). Note that T(k,h) can vanish also for gcd(h,k) = 1.
EXAMPLE
The triangle T(k,h) begins (if gcd(k,h) is not 1 we use o instead of 0):
k\h 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2: 0
3: 1 -1
4: 1 o -1
5: 1 0 0 -1
6: 5 o o o -5
7: 5 1 -1 1 -1 -5
8: 7 o 1 o -1 o -7
9: 14 4 o -4 4 o -4 -14
10: 3 o 0 o o o 0 o -3
11: 15 5 3 3 -5 5 -3 -3 -5 -15
12: 55 o o o -1 o 1 o o o -55
13: 11 4 1 -1 0 -4 4 0 1 -1 -4 -11
...
n = 14: 13 o 3 o 3 o o o -3 o -3 o -13,
n = 15: 91 7 0 19 0 0 -7 7 0 0 -19 0 -7 -91.
