One hidden pattern in Pascal’s triangle is that the sum of each row is equal to double the previous row with the acceptation to the first row considering there Isn’t a row before it to double.

Another hidden pattern in Pascal’s triangle is when you add 2 numbers directly beside each other they add up to the number that’s right under them.

This is an example of natural numbers in the triangle.
