2026 AIME I Problem 13

For each nonnegative integer r less that 502, define S_r=\sum_{m\geq 0}\binom{10,000}{502m+r}, where \binom{10,000}{n} is defined to be 0 when n>10,000. That is, S_r is the sum of all the binomial coefficients of the form \binom{10,000}{k} for which 0\leq k\leq 10,000 and k-r is a multiple of 502. Find the number of integers in the list S_0,S_1,S_2,\ldots ,S_{501} that are multiples of the prime number 503.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
