Abstract
In this paper, we consider two particular binomial sums \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(20k^2+8k+1){\binom{2k}{k}}^5 (-4096)^{n-k-1} \end{align*} and \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(120k^2+34k+3){\binom{2k}{k}}^4\binom{4k}{2k} 65536^{n-k-1}, \end{align*} which are inspired by two series for obtained by Guillera. We consider their divisibility properties and prove that they are divisible by for all integer . These divisibility properties are stronger than those divisibility results found by He, who proved the above two sums are divisible by with the WZ-method.
