Abstract
In general, finding the sum of an infinite series is not always possible. However, there are infinite series whose sums can be computed. In our earlier paper, we derived a formula for computing the sum of a type of polylogarithm series involving multinomial coefficients. In this paper, we show that the formula leads to an elementary computation for the series $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{k^n}{a^k}$ involving numbers obtained by a method similar to Pascal's triangle. We also show that our result is the number of ways of distributing $n$ distinct objects in $n$ or fewer distinct nonempty cells.
