A208460 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = n minus the k-th proper divisor of n. 2

%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = n minus the k-th proper divisor of n.

%C Conjecture: one of the divisors of T(n,k) is also the k-th divisor of n. In a diagram of the structure of divisors of the natural numbers (see link) the mentioned divisors of the elements of row n are located on a straight line to 45 degrees from the vertical straight line that contains the divisors of n, therefore the divisors of n are predictable.

%F T(n,k) = n - A027751(n,k).

%e Written as a triangle starting from n = 2:

%e 1;

%e 2;

%e 3, 2;

%e 4;

%e 5, 4, 3;

%e 6;

%e 7, 6, 4;

%e 8, 6;

%e 9, 8, 5;

%e 10;

%e 11, 10, 9, 8, 6;

%e 12;

%p with (numtheory):

%p T:= n-> map(x-> n-x, sort([(divisors(n) minus {n})[]]))[]:

%p seq (T(n), n=2..50); # _Alois P. Heinz_, Apr 11 2012

%t T[n_] := Most[n-Divisors[n]]; Table[T[n], {n, 2, 50}] // Flatten (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Feb 21 2017 *)

%Y Column 1 is A000027. Row n has length A032741(n). Row sums give the positives A094471. Right border is A060681.

%Y Cf. A000005, A027750, A027751.
