Among other results, we show that a problem posed by Graham on prime factors of binomial coefficients can be answered by considering a problem on projected images of fractal sets. From this point of view, we revisit a result obtained by Erd\\H{o}s, Graham, Ruzsa and Straus, also on prime factors of binomial coefficients.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-13T13:12:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "number theory", "fractal projections", "application", "binomial coefficients", "prime factors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
