%N Square array read by descending antidiagonals: A(n, k) is the k-th natural number i that satisfies i*n = A048720(i,m) for some m, where A048720 is carryless base-2 multiplication.

%C Array A391926 gives the corresponding m.

%e Note: The array does not list the initial 0 of each row, which however is included in the row sequences given at right margin. After the semicolon are listed the subsequences of that row which satisfy the relationship for a particular m (given in parentheses, and followed by ? if it is so far only a conjecture). Array A115872 lists the subsequences with m = A065621(n), where n is the row number.
