Problem
Given that
find the greatest integer that is less than 
.
Solution
Multiplying both sides by 
yields:
![\[\frac {19!}{2!17!}+\frac {19!}{3!16!}+\frac {19!}{4!15!}+\frac {19!}{5!14!}+\frac {19!}{6!13!}+\frac {19!}{7!12!}+\frac {19!}{8!11!}+\frac {19!}{9!10!}=\frac {19!N}{1!18!}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/1/2/512c6a00ae7e316e65fee4284136007504350d26.png)
![\[\binom{19}{2}+\binom{19}{3}+\binom{19}{4}+\binom{19}{5}+\binom{19}{6}+\binom{19}{7}+\binom{19}{8}+\binom{19}{9} = 19N.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/3/e/e3e8008bba65f49823f5d64af9b96e7d8ec7dedc.png)
Recall the identity 
. Since 
, it follows that 
.
Thus, 
.
So, 
and 
.
