Products and sums divisible by central binomial coefficients (Q1953385)

Summary: We study products and sums divisible by central binomial coefficients. We show that \[ 2(2n+1)\binom{2n}n\;\bigg|\;\binom{6n}{3n}\binom{3n}n\;\;\text{for all}\;n=1,2,3,\ldots. \] Also, for any nonnegative integers \(k\) and \(n\) we have \[ \binom {2k}k\;\bigg|\;\binom{4n+2k+2}{2n+k+1}\binom{2n+k+1}{2k}\binom{2n-k+1}n \] and \[ \binom{2k}k\;\bigg|\;(2n+1)\binom{2n}nC_{n+k}\binom{n+k+1}{2k}, \] where \(C_m\) denotes the Catalan number \(\frac1{m+1}\binom{2m}m=\binom{2m}m-\binom{2m}{m+1}\). On the basis of these results, we obtain certain sums divisible by central binomial coefficients.
