Show that C(p,1), C(p,2),..., C(p,p-1) are all divisible by p if and only if p is a prime.

Expert Solution
Introduction

As per the question we have to prove that C(p,1), C(p,2),..., C(p,p-1) are all divisible by p if and only if p is a prime.

Which means we first have to show that if is a prime number then it will divide C(p,1), C(p,2),..., C(p,p-1)

Then we have to show that if divides C(p,1), C(p,2),..., C(p,p-1) then must be a prime number.
