Problems on Divisibility of Binomial Coefficients
Osler, Thomas J.; Smoak, James
AMATYC Review, v25 n2 p17-21 Spr 2004
Twelve unusual problems involving divisibility of the binomial coefficients are represented in this article. The problems are listed in "The Problems" section. All twelve problems have short solutions which are listed in "The Solutions" section. These problems could be assigned to students in any course in which the binomial theorem and Pascal's triangle are presented. This includes courses in precalculus mathematics, real analysis, and number theory.
