Talk:Multiplicities of entries in Pascal's triangle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There's an error in one of the binomial coefficients listed for 7140:

   {7140 \choose 1} = {239 \choose 2} = {36 \choose 3} 

239 is an error because 239*238/2 = 28441, not 7140.

The correct value for this binomial coefficient is

{120 \choose 2}

120*119/2 = 7140.

[edit] 3003

In 1995, 3003 was the only known number appearing 8 times [1]. Is this still the case? DRLB (talk) 22:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps David Singmaster knows the answer to that one; you could ask him. Michael Hardy (talk) 23:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
