We denote by $v_2(n)$ the 2-adic valuation of $n$. The Stirling numbers of the first kind, denoted by $s(n,k)$, counts the number of permutations of $n$ elements with $k$ disjoint cycles. In recent years, Lengyel, Komatsu and Young, Leonetti and Sanna, and Adelberg made some progress on the $p$-adic valuations of $s(n,k)$. In this paper, by introducing the concept of $m$-th Stirling numbers of the first kind and providing a detailed 2-adic analysis, we show an explicit formula on the 2-adic valuation of $s(2^n, k)$. We also prove that $v_2(s(2^n+1,k+1))=v_"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1812.04539","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
