See the proof below

This is the proof of the Pascal's Triangle

#RHS=((n-1),(r))+((n-1),(r-1))#

#=((n-1)!)/((n-r-1)!(r)!)+((n-1)!)/((n-r)!(r-1)!)#

#=(n-1)!(1/((n-r-1)!(r)!)+1/((n-r)!(r-1)!))#

#=(n-1)!((n-r)/((n-r)(n-r-1)!(r)!)+r/((n-r)!r(r-1)!))#

#=(n-1)!((n-r)/((n-r)!(r)!)+r/((n-r)!(r)!))#

#=(n-1)!*n/((n-r)!(r)!)#

#=(n!)/((n-r)!(r)!)#

#=((n),(r))#

#=LHS#

#QED#
