Example

Square array begins:
  1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...
  1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...
  1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, ...
  1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, ...
  1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 1, ...
  1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 3, ...

Maple

shadow:= proc(p) proc(n) add(`if`(modp(p(j), n)=0, 1, 0), j=0..n-1)
         end end:
f:= proc(k) proc(n) binomial(n+k-1, k) end end:
A:= (n, k)-> shadow(f(k))(n):
seq(seq(A(n, 1+d-n), n=1..d), d=1..20);

Mathematica

shadow[p_] := Function[n, Sum[If[Mod[p[j], n] == 0, 1, 0], {j, 0, n-1}]]; f[k_] := Function[n, Binomial[n+k-1, k]]; a[n_, k_] := shadow[f[k]][n]; Table[Table[a[n, 1+d-n], {n, 1, d}], {d, 1, 20}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 18 2013, translated from Maple *)
