You don't really have rs * x on the right-hand side. You have (rs * x)/y where rs * x is always divisible by y but x alone is not. For the record, your actual statement was rs = rs * (n-(i-1))/i, and you are using Python 2 where / denotes integer division. Try 3 * 4/6 and 3 * (4/6). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
