An Important Theorem

Finding the nature of an integral part of the expression.
If the given expansion is in the form of N=(a+b)n(nN)
Working rule:
Step 1: Choose N=(ab)n or (ba)n according as a>b or b>a
Step 2: Use N + N' or NN ' such that result is an integer
I.e. (a+b)n+(ab)n or (a+b)n(ab)n is an integer

Step 3: Now use the concept of greatest integer function and fractional part of a function, N=I+f, where I am an integral part of N i.e., [ N ] and f is a fractional part of N, i.e. \{ N \}.
For example, the integral part of P=(33+5)2n+1(nN) is an even number.
Now consider, P=(335)2n+1 here 0<P<1
Use, PP=2[2n+1C1(33)2n51+2n+1C3(33)2n2(5)3+]
I+fP=2k(kN)(P=I+f)
1<fP<1 but fP is an integer fP=0I=2k
Hence, integral part of P=(33+5)2n+1(nN) is an even integer
