A characterization of a prime pp from the binomial coefficient (np){n \choose p}

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We complete a proof of a theorem that was inspired by an Indian Olympiad problem, which gives an interesting characterization of a prime number pp with respect to the binomial coefficients (np){n\choose p}. We also derive a related result which generalizes the theorem in one direction.
