AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving whether the expression (n!)! / (n!)^(n-1)! is an integer for natural numbers n. Participants note that the question lacks clarity regarding what specifically needs to be proven. It is mentioned that this inquiry is not new and resembles a previously posed question with different values. There is a consensus that the goal is to establish the integer nature of the expression. The conversation emphasizes the need for a more detailed formulation of the problem.

Prove by permutations or otherwise $\displaystyle \frac{\left(n!\right)!}{\left(n!\right)^{(n-1)!}}$, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$

Your question is not complete. What do you need to prove?
 
This is not a new question. it is same as previous question with diffeent value

I think you mean it to be integer

this is same as previous solution with m= (n-1)! http://mathhelpboards.com/challenge-questions-puzzles-28/integer-quantity-12418.html
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
