For n≥0, define B0​(X)=1 and Bn​(X)=X(X−1)⋯(X−n+1)/n!. The binomial coefficient formula shows Bn​(m)∈Z for every nonnegative integer m. Since these integers are dense in the p-adic integers, continuity of the polynomial implies Bn​(Zp​)⊆Zp​, so it is an integer-valued polynomial there and ∥Bn​∥∞​=1. The Pascal's identity gives ΔBn+1​=Bn​ for the forward difference operator.
