- Abstract
The article examines an alternative approach to a problem by mathematician A. de Moivre which involves determining the number of ways in which the sum of the numbers exhibited by a dice having m faces will be equal to a given number k. The author discusses a variant of de Moivre's problem in which a fair die with m numbered faces (from 1 to m) and p is any number less than m such that p does not divide m.
