The stated identity $k\binom nk=n\binom{n-1}{k-1}$ has an even right side because $n$ is even. Its left side is an odd integer $k$ times the integer <binomial coefficient> $\binom nk$. An odd multiplier preserves <integer parity>, so that coefficient must be even. Equivalently, reducing the identity in <modular arithmetic> gives
$$
\boxed{\binom nk\equiv0\pmod2}.
