1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 37, Number 2, February 1973 FORMULAS FOR THE NUMBER OF BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS DIVISIBLE BY A FIXED POWER OF A PRIME F. T. HOWARD Abstract. Define 0,(n) as the number of binomial coefficients (?) divisible by exactly/»'. A formula for 02(n) is found, for all n, and formulas for 6,(n) for n=apk+bpr and n=c,pki+- +cmpkm (&i=./'» +i~ ísí/'for /=1,, m 1) are derived. 1. Introduction. Let p be a fixed prime and let d}(ri) denote the number of binomial coefficients (") (s=0, 1,, ri) divisible by exactly p'. If we put (1.1) n = c0 + clp + + ctpr (0 = c, < p) it is well known [3] that W = (Co + \)(ci + 1) (cr + 1). The evaluation of &}(ri) for arbitrary y appears to be more difficult, however. Carlitz [1] has proved that r-l fli(«) = 2 (co + O " ' (ck-i + \)(p -ck- \)ck+x(ck+2 + 1) (cr + 1) *=o and he has found formulas for 03(«) for the following values of«: apr + bpr+1 (0 = a < p, 0 = b < p), b + ap + ap2 +-h apt+i (0 < a < p, b = a or a - 1). The writer [4] has considered this problem for p=2 and has found formulas for 0,-(/i), l^y"^4, and for arbitrary y has evaluated 6,-(/i) for a number of special values of n. These formulas are valid only for p=2, however. In this paper we find formulas for d2(n) for all n and for 03(n) for the following values of n : apk + bpt (0<a<p,0<b<p,k< r), Cxpkl + + cmpk" (0 < ct < p,j = kx,j < ki+1 - kf).

2 NUMBER OF DIVISIBLE BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS 359 We shall use the following rule, which was proved by Kummer [2, p. 70]. Put (1.2) s = a0 + axp arpr (0<ai<p), (1.3) n - s = b0 + bxp + + btpr (0 ^ bt < p), a0 + b0 c0 + e0p, e0 + ax + bx = Cx +,p,, r_r + ar + bt= ct + srp, where each et=0 or 1. Let N he the exponent of the highest power of p that divides ("). Then we have N=e0+Sx+- -+er. 2. Evaluation of 62(n). If n is given by (1.1) and s and n s are given by (1.2) and (1.3), it is clear that A^=2 if and only if exactly two of the e's are equal to 1, and r=0. There are two possibilities. Either ek= ek+1= 1 for some 0^k^r 2 and all other e's=0 or ek= 1, em= 1 for some 0_&^r 3, &+2_m_r 1 and all other e's=0. In the first case we can take ak = ck+\,- 1; ck+xi ' ' ' >p ' ; '/c+2 = o, >c* -1. So we have (p ck l)(p ck+1)ck+2 choices and the remaining a's can be chosen in Ak ways, where (2.1) Av = rita+i) l(ck + l)(ck+x + l)(c*+2 + 1)]. In the second case, we can take ak = ck + \,---,p - I; am cm + 1,--,p 1 ; ""jfc+l = 0, -1, = 0,,cm+1-1, so there are (p ck l)ck+1(p cm l)cm+1 choices. The remaining can be selected in Bk m ways, where a's (2.2) Bk_m = Iífe+1) [(ck + l)(ck+1 + l)(cm + l)(cm+l + 1)]. Thus we have r-2 ö2(n) = ^(P- ck- ï)(p - ck+1)ck+2ak (2-3) k' r_x r-z (P - C* - l)ck+l(p - Cm - 1) m=t+2 k=0 where Ak and Bkm are defined by (2.1) and (2.2) respectively. rn+x"k.mi
3 360 F. T. HOWARD [February For example, 62(a + bp + cp2) = (p-a- l)(p - b)c, 02(a + bp + cp2 + dp3) = (p-a- \)(p - b)c(d + 1) + (a + \)(p -b- l)(p - c)d + (p-a- l)b(p -c- l)d. This method does not appear to be very practical for evaluating 6 (ri) íoxj>2. 3. Special evaluations. We can use Kummer's theorem to evaluate Qj(apk+bpT), where r>k, 0<a<p, 0<b<p. Suppose fc>y and r k>j. Then there are three ways to have exactly y of the f's equal to 1 : (1) r_3=er_i+i=- -=er_i=l, all other 's=0; (2) sk_}=ek_j+1=- -=ek_x=l, all other 's=0; (3) *-m= *-m+i=- =6fc-i=l> r-a=- -=^-1=1. \ú új-l, h= j m, all other e's=0. If j is given by (1.2), in the first case we can take ar_i = 1,,/>- 1; a = 0, -,/>-1 (r -/ + 1 < i < r - 1); at = 0, -, b 1 ; ak = 0,, a, so there are (p l)p'~1(a+l)b other two cases, we have choices. Using similar reasoning in the %A\af + bpr) = (p- iy-»(a + l)b (3.1) + (p - îy-^iè + 1) + (j - l)(p - \Yf-2ab (k^j,r>k+j). Similarly we have Oj(apk + bpt) = (p- ljp*-*(fl + \)b + k(p - \)2pi-2ab (k<j,r>k +j), (3.3) = (p - a - ly-^ + k(p - l)2p>-2ab (k<j,r = k +j), = (p- îy-mè + l) + (p- Dpj-2(p - a)b + (r - k - l)(p - l)2f-2ab (k^j,r<k+ j), = (p- î)/»'-1^ + i) + (P-a- îy-1* + (j -!)(/> - \)2r2ab (k^j,r + k =j), = (p- l)p'-2(p - d)b + (r -j)(p - \)2p'-2ab ('} We next evaluate 0 (ri) for (k<j,r<k+j,r^j). (3.7) n = clpkl + c2pk> + + cmpk (kx /, ki+1 - kt >j).
4 1973] NUMBER OF DIVISIBLE BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS 361 Using Kummer's theorem, we need to determine the number of ways we can have exactly y of the s's equal to 1. Let 1 ^u^m and choose u of the c/s. Call them cfl,, ciu. Assign to each c^ a number tw, 1 5j tw, such that fi+i2+' ' ' + iu=/ This can be done in ( I*) ways, since there are ( -Î) different ways of distributingy nondistinct objects into u distinct cells with no cell left empty. We wish to have =1 (v=iw h, l<h^tw, 1^w_m) and all other e's equal to 0. If s is given by (1.2) we can take a = 1,,p - 1 (»» i"w f, 1 < w < u), = 0,,/>- 1 (v = ia-h,l^h<tw- 1,1 ^w^u), = 0,, cv - 1 (p - /, 1 w g «). Thus for a given «and a given selection ix,, i, there are {I Z\)(p- l)y-"^ <*.(* + o (cm + i)kch + o (cfii +1) different ways to have y of the 's equal to 1. Therefore (3.8) ein) = 2 (; ~ ta - i)v~u» u^x \«- 1/ where n is given by (3.7) and (3.9) Eu = J cfl cjq + 1) (cm + l)/[(c,, + 1) (ciu + 1)], the sum being over all subsets {ilt, i } of {1,, m) such that í'i<'2<-- <' For example, if n=apkl+bpk*+cpk*, kx^j, k2 kx>j, k3 k2>j, then 0,(10 = (p - \)pj-x[a(b + \)(c + 1) + (a + l)6(c + 1) + (a+l)(6+l)c] + 0' - l)(/>-l)y-2[a >(c + 1) + a(è + \)c +(a+ \)bc] + (J~l)(p-l)3pi-3abc.
