By Legendre Duplication Formula :

( n + 1 2 ) ! = π ( 2 n + 2 ) ! 4 n + 1 ( n + 1 ) ! \left( n+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) !=\frac { \sqrt { \pi } (2n+2)! }{ { 4 }^{ n+1 }(n+1)! }

3.5 ! = ( 3 + 1 2 ) ! = π ( 8 ) ! 4 3 + 1 ( 4 ! ) 11.63 3.5! = \left( 3+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) !=\frac { \sqrt { \pi } (8)! }{ { 4 }^{ 3+1 }(4!) } \approx 11.63

O R OR ( 7 2 ) ! = 7 2 . 5 2 . 3 2 . ( 1 2 ) ! = ( 105 8 ) ( 1 2 ) Γ ( 1 2 ) = 105 π 16 11.63 \left( \frac { 7 }{ 2 } \right) !=\quad \frac { 7 }{ 2 } .\frac { 5 }{ 2 } .\frac { 3 }{ 2 } .\left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) !=\quad \left( \frac { 105 }{ 8 } \right) \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) \Gamma \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) =\quad \frac { 105\sqrt { \pi } }{ 16 } \approx 11.63

Bonus: try to derive the formula.
