COMMENTS
This triangle is motivated by sequence A256885 by Wesley Ivan Hurt, which is the sequence of row sums for n >= 1.
Row n ends in a 0 if n is prime; otherwise it ends in 1.
The alternating row sums give 1, seven times 2, six times 3, six times 4, four times 5, twice 6, ..., and the multiplicity sequence 1, 7, 6, 6, 4, 2, ... is given in A257233.

FORMULA
T(n, k) = n - (k-1) - [isprime(k)], with [isprime(k)] = A010051(k), for 1 <= k <= n.
O.g.f. for column k (with leading zeros): x^k/(1-x)^2 if k is nonprime, otherwise x^(k+1)/(1-x)^2.
T(n+1,k) = T(n,k) + 1, 1 <= k <= n, T(n+1,n+1) = 1 - A010051(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 21 2015

n\k 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
1: 1
2: 2 0
3: 3 1 0
4: 4 2 1 1
5: 5 3 2 2 0
6: 6 4 3 3 1 1
7: 7 5 4 4 2 2 0
8: 8 6 5 5 3 3 1 1
9: 9 7 6 6 4 4 2 2 1
10: 10 8 7 7 5 5 3 3 2 1
11: 11 9 8 8 6 6 4 4 3 2 0
