title: 'Problem 148: Exploring Pascal''s triangle'
forumTopicId: 301777
---

## Description
<section id='description'>
We can easily verify that none of the entries in the first seven rows of Pascal's triangle are divisible by 7:

<pre>
            1
          1   1
        1   2   1
      1   3   3   1
    1   4   6   4   1
  1   5   10  10  5   1
1   6   15  20  15  6   1
</pre>
However, if we check the first one hundred rows, we will find that only 2361 of the 5050 entries are not divisible by 7.
