$\style{font-family:Tahoma}{\style{font-size:8px}{=\;9\;+8n\;+^{n+1}C_2\left(8\right)^2\;+^{n+1}C_3\left(8\right)^3\;+........\;+^{n+1}C_{n+1}(8)^{n+1}}}$
$ \style{font-family:Tahoma}{\style{font-size:8px}{\Rightarrow9^{n+1}-8n-9=^{n+1}C_2{(8)^2}+^{n+1}C_3{(8)^3}}}$$ + ...{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}}{(8)^{n + 1}}$
$ = 64{[^{n + 1}}{C_2}{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_3} \cdot 8$$ + ...{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}} \cdot {8^{n + 1}}]$
which show that 9n+1 - 8n-9 is divisible by 64 wherever n is a positive integer
