Show that this ratio of factorials is always an integer
It might be worth mentioning Landau's theorem, digreg.mathguide.de/cgi-bin/ssgfi/…, which gives this argument in a much more general setting.

Enumerating/counting paths of a given length on a 2D lattice
It seems to me that this should be solvable by a straightforward application of Burnside's lemma.

Cayley's Theorem regarding marked trees
Unlabeled (the usual term) trees are not impossible to count. They were first counted by Cayley (before he counted labeled trees, I believe). The numbers are A000055 in the OEIS.

You can still try the partial fraction expansion, but it probably won't simplify as much. Is there any reason to think that there's a simple formula for this case?
