Recently Kurt Mahler asked: for which natural numbers N is the least common multiple of all the binomial coefficients the product of the primes less than or equal to N? We obtain a formula for the least common multiple of all the binomial coefficients of any natural number N and hence show that 2,11, and 23 are the only soultions to Mahler's problem.
