Comments

This is an irregular tetrahedron T(n,j,k) read by rows in which the slice n lists the elements of the rows of the absolute difference triangle of the divisors of n (including the divisors of n).

The first row of the slice n is also the n-th row of the triangle A027750.

The bottom entry of the slice n is A187203(n).

The sum of the elements of the slice n is A187215(n).

For another version see A273102 from which differs at a(92).

Example

For n = 18 the divisors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, so the absolute difference triangle of the divisors of 18 is
1 . 2 . 3 . 6 . 9 . 18
. 1 . 1 . 3 . 3 . 9
. . 0 . 2 . 0 . 6
. . . 2 . 2 . 6
. . . . 0 . 4
. . . . . 4
and the 18th slice is
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18;
1, 1, 3, 3, 9;
0, 2, 0, 6;
2, 2, 6;
0, 4;
4;
The tetrahedron begins:
1;
1, 2;
1;
1, 3;
2;
1, 2, 4;
1, 2;
1;
...
This is also an irregular triangle T(n,r) read by rows in which row n lists the absolute difference triangle of the divisors of n flattened.
Row lengths are the terms of A184389. Row sums give A187215.
Triangle begins:
1;
1, 2, 1;
1, 3, 2;
1, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1;
