%N Triangle of denominators in the square of the matrix with A[i,j] = 1/i for j <= i, 0 otherwise.

%C The triangle of the corresponding numerators is A119947. The rationals appear in lowest terms.

%C The least common multiple (LCM) of row i gives [1, 4, 18, 48, 300, 360, 2940, 6720, 22680, ...], which coincides with A081528.

%F T(i,j) = denominator((A^2)[i,j]), where the lower triangular matrix A has elements a[i,j] = 1/i if j <= i, 0 if j > i.

%e The first rows of the table are:

%e [1];

%e [4, 4];

%e [18, 18, 9];

%e [48, 48, 48, 16];

%e [300, 300, 300, 100, 25];

%e [120, 120, 120, 360, 180, 36]; ...

%Y Row sums give A119950. Row sums of the triangle of rationals always give 1.
