The first term of the k-th row is k. The first leading diagonal contains all 1's. The second leading diagonal contains twice the triangular numbers = n*(n-1).

For p prime, the sum of the p-th row is (p^3 - p^2 + 2)/2.

Proof: The p-th row is p, 2*p, 3*p, ..., (p-2)*p, (p-1)*p, 1. The sum of the row = p*(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + (p-2) + (p-1)) + 1 = p*(p-1)*p/2 + 1 = (p^3 - p^2 + 2)/2. (End) [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, May 27 2020]

In the square array where T(i,j) = T(j,i), the natural extension of the triangle, each set of rows and columns with common indices [d1, d2, ..., ds] define a group multiplication table on their grid, if the d1, d2, ..., ds are the set of divisors of a squarefree number [A. Jorza]. - R. J. Mathar, May 03 2007

T(n,k) is the minimum number of squares necessary to fill a rectangle with sides of length n and k. - Stefano Spezia, Oct 06 2018
