[#R67] A certified cutoff-scale coefficient gives a 16,113-digit lower bound

claim. The exact factorization of \(\binom{1000000}{499985}\) gives a 16,113-digit divisor-count lower bound; no matching upper bound or complete sweep over \(1\le k<n\le10^6\) is recorded, so the exact maximum remains open.

1Summary

At the admissible pair \[ (n,k)=(1000000,499985), \] the coefficient has 53,478 distinct prime factors. Its exponent histogram is \[ (1:53413),(2:56),(3:3),(4:2),(5:2),(8:1),(12:1). \] Consequently \[ \max_{1\leq k<n\leq10^6}\tau\binom nk \geq 2^{53413}3^{56}4^3 5^2 6^2\cdot9\cdot13. \] This exact integer has 16,113 decimal digits. Its first 64 digits are `2901061995181429015403180177031159054152063659198892515558624106`, its final 64 digits are `0248962087137382083803874069801496392268550388351507391473254400`, and its SHA-256 digest is `37e6b0aec8c146fa82e6e8d0eb776dbb1504fb2fff80e5fa74bff8eaddfee951`.

For complete factorization data, the artifact computes \[ v_p\binom nk=\sum_{j\geq1}\left(\left\lfloor\frac n{p^j}\right\rfloor-\left\lfloor\frac k{p^j}\right\rfloor-\left\lfloor\frac{n-k}{p^j}\right\rfloor\right) \] for every prime \(p\leq10^6\). Joining the 53,478 nonzero pairs as ascending `p^e` terms gives SHA-256 digest `fb3db7328c0c940f68d88e873c6554c9ec65616c825f5b933fd2e55e492e1be2`. This certifies the lower bound without asserting that this pair is globally optimal.
