COMMENTS
Conjecture: Triangle contains all nonsquare numbers infinitely many times.
The orders of the numbers in n-th row mod n are equal to A002322(n).
First and last terms of the n-th row are A111076(n) and A247176(n).
Length of the n-th row is A111725(n).
The n-th row is the same as A046147 for n with primitive roots.
