Weak Wolstenholme’s Theorem

Wolstenholme’s theorem tell us that a certain congruence holds modulo the third power of a prime greater than or equal to $5$. This is difficult to establish, but we can more easily prove a weaker result: the same congruence holds modulo any prime. Our technique will be to use the binomial expansion theorem in two different ways on a formal polynomial.
