%N Triangular array of coefficients of polynomials p(n,k) defined in Comments

%C The polynomial p(n,x) is defined as the numerator when the sum 1 + 1/(n*x + 1) + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)) + ... + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1)) is written as a fraction with denominator (n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1).

%C These polynomials occur in connection with factorials of numbers of the form [n/k] = floor(n/k); e.g., Sum_{n >= 0} ([n/k]!^k)/n! = Sum_{n >= 0} (n!^k)*p(k,n)/(k*n + k - 1)!.
