A334618 Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n,k), n >= 1, k >= 1, in which column k lists successive blocks of k consecutive integers that differ by 4, where the m-th block starts with m, m >= 1, and the first element of column k is in the row that is the k-th hexagonal number (A000384). 4

COMMENTS
This triangle can be interpreted as a table of partitions into consecutive parts that differ by 4 (see the Example section).
Also, every triangle of this family has the property that starting from row n the sum of k positive and consecutive terms in the column k is equal to n.

Figure H: for n = 8 the partitions of 8 into consecutive parts that differ by 4 (but with the parts in increasing order) are [8] and [2, 6]. These partitions have one part and two parts respectively. On the other hand we can find the mentioned partitions in the columns 1 and 2 of this table, starting at the row 8.
