Given: ( 1 ! ) 2 ( 3 ! ) 2 ( 5 ! ) 2 ( 7 ! ) 2 ( 9 ! ) 2 1 ! × 2 ! × 3 ! × ⋯ × 1 0 ! = 1 5 × 2 n
What is the value of n = ?
Notation: ! denotes the factorial notation; for example: 8 ! = 1 × 2 × 3 × . . . × 8 .

Thank you. Another smart way of solving it.
( 1 ! ) 2 × ( 3 ! ) 2 × ( 5 ! ) 2 × ( 7 ! ) 2 × ( 9 ! ) 2 1 ! × 2 ! × 3 ! × … × 9 ! × 1 0 ! = 1 5 × 2 n
1 ! 1 ! × 1 ! 2 × 1 ! × 3 ! 3 ! × 3 ! 4 × 3 ! × 5 ! 5 ! × 5 ! 6 × 5 ! × 7 ! 7 ! × 7 ! 8 × 7 ! × 9 ! 9 ! × 9 ! 1 0 × 9 ! = 1 5 × 2 n
After simplifying:
2 × 4 × 6 × 8 × 1 0 = 1 5 × 2 n
2 × 2 2 × ( 2 × 3 ) × 2 3 × ( 2 × 5 ) = 1 5 × 2 n
1 5 × 2 8 = 1 5 × 2 n
n = 8
Thank you. Clear and logical solution.

X = ( 1 ! ) 2 ( 3 ! ) 2 ( 5 ! ) 2 ( 7 ! ) 2 ( 9 ! ) 2 1 ! × 2 ! × 3 ! ⋯ × 1 0 ! = 3 ! × 5 ! × 7 ! × 9 ! 2 ! × 4 ! × 6 ! × 8 ! × 1 0 ! = 2 × 4 × 6 × 8 × 1 0 = 2 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 1 × 3 × 5 = 1 5 × 2 8
⟹ n = 8
