Abstract
A sequence of nonzero integers is ``binomid'' if every -binomid coefficient is an integer. Those terms are the generalized binomial coefficients: Let be the infinite triangle with those numbers as entries. When then is Pascal's Triangle so that is binomid. Surprisingly, every row and column of Pascal's Triangle is also binomid. For any , each row and column of generates its own triangle and all those triangles fit together to form the ``Binomid Pyramid'' . Sequence is ``binomid at every level'' if all entries of are integers. We prove that several familiar sequences have that property, including the Lucas sequences. In particular, , the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, and are binomid at every level.
