 50   50 
Likewise, the highest power p, dividing 50! , is p n where n =  p  +  2  + ...
   p 

Clearly , p | C50 iff m > 2n.

In case of 47 , m = 2 & n = 1 ;
In case of 43 , m = 2 & n = 1 ;
In case of 37 , m = 2 & n = 1 ;
However , in case of 31 , m = 3 & n = 1.

Now – y 2 + 6y + 25 – k = – ( y – 3) 2 + 34 – k.

On solving, we obtain a = 1 and b = –1 or b = – 2.
These values, indeed, render infinitely many solutions to the system. Entering these values, the system
becomes
x + y = 2 (for a = 1 and b = – 1)
