On the model of simple braids, defined to be the left divisors of Garside’s elements Δ n in the monoid B ∞ + , we investigate simple elements in Thompson’s monoid F + and in a larger monoid H + that is a hybrid of B ∞ + and F + : in both cases, we count how many simple elements left divide the right lcm of the first n-1 atoms, and characterize their normal forms in terms of forbidden factors. In the case of H + , a generalized Pascal triangle appears.
