      Bedeutet \(n\) eine ganze positive Zahl, \(x,y,v\) beliebige Zahlen, so ist: \[ \frac{(x+v+n-1)(x+v+n-2)\dots(x+v)}{(x+n-1)(x+n-2)\dots x} \] \[ -(n)_{1}\;\frac{(x+v+n-1)\dots(x+v+1)}{(x+n-1)\dots(x+1)}\cdot\frac{y+v+n-1}{y}+\cdots \] \[ +(-1)^{n-1}(n)_{n-1}\frac{x+v+n-1}{x+n-1}\;\frac{(y+v+n-1)\dots(y+v+2n-3)}{y\dots(y+n-2)} \] \[ +(-1)^{n}\;\frac{(y+v+n-1)\dots(y+v+2n-2)}{y\dots(y+n-1)} \] \[ =\frac{v(v+1)\dots(v+n-1)(y-x)(y-x+1)\dots(y-x+n-1)}{x(x+1)\dots(x+n-1)y(y+1)\dots(y+n-1)}. \]
