Phoenix [80]3 years ago

By the binomial theorem,

10^{2019}=(9+1)^{2019}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{2019}\binom{2019}n9^{2019-n}

The last term in the sum, when n=2019, is

\dbinom{2019}{2019}9^{2019-2019}=1

which is eliminated, leaving us with

10^{2019}-1=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{2018}\binom{2019}n9^{2019-n}

10^{2019}-1=\displaystyle\binom{2019}09^{2019}+\binom{2019}19^{2018}+\cdots+\binom{2019}{2018}9

Each term in the remaining sum has a common factor of 9, so 10^{2019}-1 must be composite.
