Prove that for a real positive \(\alpha\) and a positive integer \(d\), \(\lfloor \alpha / d\rfloor = \lfloor \lfloor \alpha\rfloor / d\rfloor\) is always satisfied.

Prove that if \(p\) is a prime number and \(1 \leq k \leq p - 1\), then \(\binom{p}{k}\) is divisible by \(p\).

Prove that if \(p\) is a prime number, then \((a + b)^p - a^p - b^p\) is divisible by \(p\) for any integers \(a\) and \(b\).

Prove the irrationality of the following numbers:

a) \(\sqrt{3}{17}\)

b) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\)

c) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}\)
