If I give you a big ol’ integer and say “I think this might be a combination of nCr something… but I don’t remember n or r— or maybe it’s just some integer.

How do you efficiently test to see if it’s a possible result from that formula?

I mean I could make a list up to the needed digits and search, but that isn’t very elegant. Other ideas?
