Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Triangle, read by rows, where T(n,1) = n^2-n+1 for n>=1 and T(n,k) = (n-k+1)*floor( (T(n,k-1)-1)/(n-k+1) ) for 1<k<=n; related to the Flavius sieve (A000960).
%C A variant of triangle A100452. The main diagonal equals A100287, the first number that is crossed off at stage n in the Flavius sieve (A000960). Row sums are A101105.
