Abstract
In this paper we initiate the study of products and sums divisible by central binomial coefficients. We show that 2(2n+1)binom(2n,n)| binom(6n,3n)binom(3n,n) for every n=1,2,3,... Also, for any nonnegative integers and we have and where denotes the Catalan number . Applying this result we obtain two sums divisible by central binomial coefficients.
