COMMENTS

5 divides neither C(2s-1,s) = A001700[ s ] (nor C(2s,s) = A000984[ s ], central column of P ascal's Triangle) if and only if s is one of the terms in this sequence.

n such that the last decimal digit of C(2n,n) is not zero. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 18 2002

Let us recall the plan of Apery's irrationality proof. Consider the recurrence (n + 1)^3 * u_(n+1) = (34n^3 + 51n^2 + 27n + 5)u_n - n^3 * u_(n-1). The solution with starting values u_0 = 1; u_1 = 5 has the peculiar property that it has integral terms, despite the fact that at every recursion step we divide by (n + 1)^3. The n-th term is given by f(n) = sum(i=0,n,binomial(n+i,i)^2*binomial(n,i)^2) (see Beukers link) and m such that if Mod(f(m),5) <>0 is same as 2*a(n). - Mohammed Bouayoun (bouyao(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 08 2004
