On the (K.2) supercongruence of Van Hamme

Abstract

We prove the last remaining case of the original 13 Ramanujan-type supercongruence conjectures due to Van Hamme from 1997. The proof utilizes classical congruences and a WZ pair due to Guillera. Additionally, we mention some future directions concerning this type of supercongruence.
