did the same!
In the second line, we have n n 1 in the numerator. But, do we have that in the third line?

Thanks, my mistake. I have changed the solution.
Relevant wiki: Stirling's Formula
We have n n n ( n + 1 ) ⋯ ( n + n ) = n 1 ( n ! n ( 2 n ) ! ) n 1 ∼ e 4 ( 2 n ) 2 n 1 n → ∞ using Stirling's Approximation. Thus the limit is e 4 ≈ 1 . 4 7 1 5 1 7 7 6 5 . To 3DP, this should be 1 . 4 7 2 , not 1 . 4 7 1 .
Thanks. I've updated the answer from 1.471 to 1.472. Those who previously answered 1.472 has been marked correct.
In future, if you spot any errors with a problem, you can “report” it by selecting "report problem" in the “line line line” menu in the top right corner. This will notify the problem creator who can fix the issues.

Well yes, but, (A) the system accepted my original answer of 1 . 4 7 2 , so my comment was for informational purposes only. (B) authors cannot change the answers...
