6, 3, 3, 1;
7, 4, 7, 1;
8, 1;
9, 5, 4, 3, 9, 1,
10, 4, 5, 1;
11, 6, 11, 1;
12, 5, 3, 1;
13, 7, 13, 1;
14, 5, 7, 1;
15, 8, 6, 5, 5, 3, 15, 1;
16, 1;
17, 9, 17, 1;
18, 7, 6, 9, 3, 1;
19, 10, 19, 1;
20, 6, 5, 1;
21, 11, 8, 6, 7, 3, 21, 1;
...
For n = 21 the partitions of 21 into consecutive parts are [21], [11, 10], [8, 7, 6], [6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1].
On the other hand the odd divisors of 21 are [1, 3, 7, 21].
To determine how these partitions are related to the odd divisors we follow the two rules of the theorem described in A379630 as shown below:
The first partition is [21] and the number of parts is 1 and 1 is odd so the corresponding odd divisor of 21 is 1.
The second partition is [11, 10] and the number of parts is 2 and 2 is even so the corresponding odd divisor of 21 is equal to 11 + 10 = 21.
The third partition is [8, 7, 6] and the number of parts is 3 and 3 is odd so the corresponding odd divisor of 21 is 3.
The fourth partition is [6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1] and the number of parts is 6 and 6 is even so the corresponding odd divisor of 21 is equal to 6 + 1 = 5 + 2 = 4 + 3 = 7.
Summarizing in a table:
--------------------------------------
Correspondence
--------------------------------------
Partitions of 21 Odd
into consecutive divisors
parts of 21
------------------- ----------
[21] .................... 1
[11, 10] ................ 21
[8, 7, 6] ................ 3
[6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1] ....... 7
.
Then we can make a table of conjugate correspondence in which the four partitions are arrenged in four columns with the largest parts at the top as shown below:
------------------------------------------
Conjugate correspondence
------------------------------------------
Partitions of 21 Odd
into consecutive divisors
parts as columns of 21
------------------- ------------------
21 11 8 6 7 3 21 1
| 10 7 5 | | | |
| | 6 4 | | | |
| | | 3 | | | |
| | | 2 | | | |
| | | 1 | | | |
| | | |_______| | | |
| | |_________________| | |
| |___________________________| |
|_____________________________________|
.
Then removing all rows except the first row we have a table of conjugate correspondence for largest parts and odd divisors as shown below:
------------------- ------------------
Largest parts Odd divisors
------------------- ------------------
21 11 8 6 7 3 21 1
| | | |_______| | | |
| | |_________________| | |
| |___________________________| |
|_____________________________________|
.
So the 21st row of the triangle is [21, 11, 8, 6, 7, 3, 21, 1].

The geometrical structure of the above isosceles triangle is defined in A237593. See also the triangles A286000 and A379633.
Note that the diagram also can be interpreted as a template which after folding gives a 90 degree pop-up card which has essentially the same structure as the stepped pyramid described in A245092.
