Good. But I think there is a wrong.
n = 1 ∏ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k = ( k ! ) × ( k k ) ( k 3 + k 2 ) ( 1 ÷ 2 ) = 2 ( k ! × k k ) ( k 3 + k 2 ) = 2 k [ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 ] k ( k 2 + k )
In this line you write, 2 × k ! × k k = k [ 2 × k ! × k k − 1 ] . It's wrong.
Because here 2 , k ! , k k are in multiplication. So it can rewrite 2 × k ! × k k = 2 × k × ( k − 1 ) ! × k k
Then you can able to go forward...

What is the difference between two?

You pulled a k out of both k! and k^k; you can either have (k-1)! or k^(k-1) but not both

@Sumukh Bansal – The interesting point is that the answer was wrong but still got that
@Sumukh Bansal – You say them to change your ans in report section of this post.
The correct ans is 1 . 8 6 7 8 3 . And say them to update the ans to 1 . 8 6 7 8 3
Afterthat, you'll change your solution.

@Md Mehedi Hasan – I have done so
@Md Mehedi Hasan – THANKS
@Sumukh Bansal – Mention as BRILLIANT STAF, and say them, they'll update your answer in few days...
Have you got it?
Expand and simplify to obtain
k = 1 ∑ ∞ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ n = 1 ∏ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = m = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 m m − 2 m ! m + 1 .
It is easy to verify that this sum converges using the ratio test. Then evaluating the sum (using a calculator, or by summing the first few terms since it converges quickly) yields an answer of 1 . 8 6 7 8 3 rounded to 5 decimal places.

Given k = 1 ∑ ∞ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ n = 1 ∏ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = x First we find n = 1 ∏ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k = k + 2 k + 3 k . . . . . . k k ⇒ k ( 1 + 2 + 3 . . . . . k ) ⇒ ( k ) 2 k ( k + 1 ) ⇒ ( k ) 2 k 2 + k ⇒ 2 k 3 + k 2 Now we find n = 1 ∏ k n k = k × 2 k × 3 k . . . . . . k k ⇒ ( 1 × 2 × 3 . . . . . . k ) × ( k × k . . . . . k t i m e s ) ⇒ ( k ! ) × ( k k ) We can write it as n = 1 ∏ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k = ( k ! ) × ( k k ) ( k 3 + k 2 ) ( 1 ÷ 2 ) ⇒ 2 ( k ! × k k ) ( k 3 + k 2 ) ⇒ 2 k [ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 ] k ( k 2 + k ) ⇒ 2 [ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 ] k 2 + k ⇒ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 2 k ( k + 1 ) Now we will equate the equation k = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n = 1 ∏ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k ) = k = 1 ∑ ∞ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 2 k ( k + 1 ) But this is not a geometric progession as the first term is less than the second term and the third term is less than the second term. However,This can be rewritten as k = 3 ∑ ∞ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 2 k ( k + 1 ) + a + b where a is the first term and b is the second term and the expression will be a geometric progession. k = 3 ∑ ∞ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 2 k ( k + 1 ) = 1 − a 1 a 2 a 1 ⇒ 1 − 3 1 1 9 2 5 3 1 ⇒ 1 − ( 1 9 2 5 × 3 ) 3 1 ⇒ 3 1 × 5 9 6 4 ⇒ 1 7 7 6 4 ⇒ 0 . 3 6 1 5 8 a = 1 b = 2 3 Adding all the expressions k = 3 ∑ ∞ ( k − 1 ) ! × k k − 1 2 k ( k + 1 ) + a + b = 0 . 3 6 1 5 8 + 1 + 1 . 5 ⇒ 2 . 8 6 1 5 8 So x = 2 . 8 6 1 5 8 Hence k = 1 ∑ ∞ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ n = 1 ∏ k n k n = 1 ∑ k n k ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = 2 . 8 6 1 5 8 This is a awesome problem and solution so please don’t feel ashamed to upvote and like it
