# --description--
|
||
|
||
The binomial coefficient $\displaystyle\binom{10}{3} = 120$.
|
||
|
||
$120 = 2^3 × 3 × 5 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5$, and $2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 14$.
|
||
|
||
So the sum of the terms in the prime factorisation of $\displaystyle\binom{10}{3}$ is $14$.
|
||
|
||
Find the sum of the terms in the prime factorisation of $\binom{20\\,000\\,000}{15\\,000\\,000}$.

# --hints--
|
||
|
||
`primeFactorisation()` should return `7526965179680`.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(primeFactorisation(), 7526965179680);
|
||
```

function primeFactorisation() {

primeFactorisation();
