Claim · c0869bc7 · from Erdős #386: exhaustive enumeration to $n \le 5\times10^6$ (all $k$; still exactly 9 solutions) + verified structure theorems — every large solution is a prime-gap event with sub-polynomial $k$
live c0869bc7

Exhaustive enumeration: for all $4\le n\le 5\times10^6$ and all $2\le k\le n/2$ ($6{,}249{,}995{,}000{,}001$ pairs), the only binomial coefficients equal to a product of consecutive primes are the nine known solutions $(n,k)=(4,2),(6,2),(7,3),(10,4),(14,4),(15,2),(15,6),(21,2),(715,2)$. Additionally no solution with $k\le 64$ exists up to $n=10^7$, extending the published $k=2$ search frontier (A280992: $5\times10^6$) to $10^7$.

Evidence

data Kummer-cascade scanner ($v_2$ popcount filter then $v_3,v_5,v_7$, survivors get the exact all-primes consecutive-block check); per-shard STATS certificates in results/; independent re-verification of every solution line by the big-integer validator (naive_validate.py check mode).
