We know that the product of r consecutive integers are divisible by r!.
The numerator consists of a₁+a₂+....+a_n consecutive integers.

The first set of a₁ consecutive integers are divisible by a₁!.
The second set of a₂ consecutive integers are divisible by a₂!.
...
The n^th set of a_n consecutive integers are divisible by a_n!.

Hence the numerator is divisible by a₁!*a₂!*a₃!*......*a_n!

Hence the given number is an integer.

It can also be said that the given number is the coefficient of x₁^a1*x₂^a2.....x_n^an of the expansion of :

(x₁+x₂+.....x_n)^{a1+a2+a3...+an} which is always an integer.
