[Tex/LaTex] How to make large binomial coefficient

amsmathmath-mode

I have a potentially-repeated question, but I was unable to find anything about this. So, I need to create a giant binomial coefficient in LaTeX (something around 1000pt). When I compile the below, though, it scales the \binom{}{} up, but not the a and b. Is there any way to make the whole thing bigger?

\documentclass[12pt,border=5pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsthm}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{1000}{1000}{1000}
\begin{document}
$\displaystyle \binom{a}{b}$
\end{document}

By default cm fonts are only loaded in a restricted set of sizes. fix-cm allows them to be used as a scalable font.

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}
\documentclass[12pt,border=5pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsthm}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{1000}{1000}{1000}
\begin{document}
$\displaystyle \binom{a}{b}$
\end{document}
