Abstract

This paper answers the question as to whether every natural number \( n \) is realizable as the number of ones in the top portion of rows of a general binary Pascal triangle. Moreover, the minimum number \( \kappa(n) \) of rows is determined so that \( n \) is realizable.

Keywords: Pascal triangle, varied initial values, reduced modulo 2, number of ones.
