vidya pose la question : I am having a series of numbers eg.( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)
I can take any 5 digits eg(15,10,8,6,5) and it should not repeat and the summation should be any predefined static value . eg(44)
That is (15+10+8+6+5=44) . How many summation series will result 44 ?
My problem is how to find this using a formula or any other simpler automation method is there instead of checking one by one all the combinations.
Plz do help me... Thnks in advance Chris Fisher lui répond. |

Some number theoretic speculations |
2008-12-04 |
|
Andrew pose la question : Another way of looking at the 'alternating parity polynomial', again based on Fermat's Little Theorem,
is to substitute (a - b) for x in x^(p-1) - 1 as this is always divisible by any prime p. So, if one removes
the "- 1", there is always a remainder of (1/p)! (I took up your challenge!)
