The corollary says: For positive integers n and k, with n >= 2k, let the binomial coefficient (n,k) = U*V, where the prime factors of U are at most k and the prime factors of V are all greater than k. Then U < V holds with just a finite number of exceptions, with 19 cases known, namely the ones given above, which are the binomial coefficients in S000071 and (9,3), (10,3), (18,3), (28,5), (54,7), (82,3), and (162,3).
