The aim of this article is to obtain a new factorization of a generalized Pascal triangle. This factorization particularly
emphasizes that there is a close relation between generalized Pascal triangles and Toeplitz matrices.
However, we will show that in general there is no such relation between generalized Pascal triangles and Hankel matrices.
Keywords: Generalized Pascal triangle; factorization of a matrix; Töeplitz matrix; Hankel matrix.
