An extension of Lucas Theorem

Abstract

We give elementary proofs of some congruence criteria to compute binomial coefficients in modulo a prime. These criteria are analogues to the symmetry property of binomial coefficients. We give extended version of Lucas Theorem by using those criteria. We give applications of these criteria by describing a method to derive identities and congruences involving sums of binomial coefficients.
