%N A048996 Preferred multisets: triangle of numbers refining A007318 using format 
               described in A036038. Multiplying these numbers term-by-term by A036038 
               yields 1; 1,2; 1,6,6; 1,8,6,36,24; a refinement of A019538 (preferential 
               arrangements).
%C A048996 With row length A000041(n) (partition numbers) this array gives in row 
               n>=1 the multinomial numbers (call them M_0 numbers) m!/product((a_j)!,
               j=1..n) with the exponents of the partitions of n with number of 
               parts m:=sum(a_j,j=1..n), given in the Abramowitz-Stegun order. See 
               p. 831 of the given reference. See also the arrays for the M_1, M_2 
               and M_3 multinomial numbers A036038, A036039 and A036040 (or A080575).
