How many numbers were in pascals triangle?

Answer 1

There is actually no limit to the number of numbers in Pascal's Triangle. The triangle is simply a way to remember the coefficients of the product of two binomials (or the expansion of a binomial raised to a power). See the link below.

The triangle starts like this:

1

1 1

1 2 1

1 3 3 1

1 4 6 4 1

It goes on forever. Simply begin and end each row with a one and find the numbers in the middle by adding the two above it.

Edit: I don't know how to make the above triangle look correct here. The program wants to remove all of the spaces, making the triangle look like a right triangle. Just ignore that. It should look like a pyramid, with the top 1 in the center.
