Extract

If Pascal’s Triangle is written down, it will be noticed that the number of odd numbers in any row is a power of 2; moreover, if every even number is replaced by 0 and every odd number by 1, the result is an interesting pattern of triangles from which it is possible to deduce a general rule. Again, if divisibility by any prime number p is considered, and if every number in Pascal’s Triangle is replaced by its residue (mod p), an even more intriguing pattern is formed. These considerations led to the following investigation.
