Q53 How many values of C(n,r), for 1 ≤ n ≤ 100, exceed one-million?
There are exactly ten ways of selecting three from five, 12345:
123, 124, 125, 134, 135, 145, 234, 235, 245, and 345
In combinatorics, we use the notation, ^(5)C_(3) = 10.
In general,
^(n)C_(r) =
n!
r!(n−r)!
,where r ≤ n, n! = n×(n−1)×...×3×2×1, and 0! = 1.
It is not until n = 23, that a value exceeds one-million: ^(23)C_(10) = 1144066.
How many, not necessarily distinct, values of ^(n)C_(r), for 1 ≤ n ≤ 100, are greater than one-million? |
