%N Rectangular quotient array, R, of A003188 read by descending antidiagonals; see Comments.

%C Suppose that P = (p(m)) is a permutation of the positive integers, such as A038722. For each n >= 1, let q(n,k) be the k-th index m such that n divides p(m), and let r(n) = p(q(n,k))/n. Let R be the array having (r(n)) as row n. We call R the quotient array of P. Every row of R is a permutation of the positive integers.

%C In the present case that P = A003188, every row occurs infinitely many times. Specifically, if p is a prime (A000040), then for every multiple m*p of p, the rows numbered m*p are identical. See A327314 for the array that results by deleting duplicate rows from R.

%e A003188 = (1, 3, 2, 6, 7, 5, 4, 12, 13, 15, 14, 10, 11, 9, 8, 24, 25, 27, 26, 30, 31, 29, 28, 20, ...)

%e Row 1 of R is just A003188. To get row 2 of R, skip the odds in A003188 and divide the evens by 2; row 2 equals row 1. Generally, to get row n, divide A003188 by n and then delete the non-integers.
