There are some very useful facts in Number Theory that have no names. If you have a fact, feel free to add it to this page.

For a prime number $p$ , we have

$\dbinom{2p}{p} \equiv 2 \pmod {p}$

We have the congruence

$(p-1)! \cdot \dbinom{2p}{p} = 2 \cdot (2p-1) \cdot (2p-2) \cdot \dots \cdot (p+1) \equiv 2 \cdot (p-1)! \equiv -2 \pmod {p}$

$\implies \dbinom{2p}{p} \equiv 2 \pmod {p}$
