Observe that

$^{n-1}\mathrm C_{p-1}\,+\,^{n-1}\mathrm C_p\ =\ ^n\mathrm C_p$

Hence

$x^2\,-\,^n\mathrm C_px\,+\,^{n-1}\mathrm C_{p-1}\cdot^{n-1}\mathrm C_p$

$=\ x^2\,-\,\left(^{n-1}\mathrm C_{p-1}\,+\,^{n-1}\mathrm C_p\right)x\,+\,^{n-1}\mathrm C_{p-1}\cdot^{n-1}\mathrm C_p$

$=\ \left(x\,-\,^{n-1}\mathrm C_{p-1}\right)\left(x\,-\,^{n-1}\mathrm C_p\right)$
