Problem
Let 
denote the number of 
digit positive integers have the property that their digits are in increasing order. Determine the remainder obtained when is divided by 
. (Repeated digits are allowed.)
Solution
Note that a digit increasing integer is determined once we select a set of digits. To determine the number of sets of digits, consider 
urns labeled 
(note that 
is not a permissible digit); then we wish to drop balls into these urns. Using the ball-and-urn argument, having urns is equivalent to 
dividers, and there are 
.
