nice sir. I liked it
Very nice solution sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice solution sir....
Nice solution
Same Method applied =D ..
We share same logic sir
great solution
Simple as is, perfect
I don't understand how the first step is made

The even terms in the nominator is cancelled by the corresponding even terms in the denominator. I have added the cancellation marks. Hope that it helps.
"BRILLIANT" solution sir..

1 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋯ 9 9 9 9
= 2 ⋅ 4 ⋅ 6 ⋯ 1 0 0 0 0 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 4 ⋯ 1 0 0 0 0
= 2 5 0 0 0 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋯ 5 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 !
= 2 5 0 0 0 ⋅ 5 0 0 0 ! 1 0 0 0 0 !
Well I did something else, I tried it for 10. So the positive odd integers less than 10 are 1,3,5,7 and 9 and their product is 945. Then I tried all the possible solutions by replacing 10000! by 10! and 9999! by 9! and so on, so when I calculated 10!/ 2^5 * 5! it gave me 945 so I deduced it will be the same for 10000 ....
I did the same
Bravo! Smart move
That's an excellent method. Well done.
Yeah it's a better method to avoid confusion
You indeed are a clever mind!
I don't get it what are u ment to do is there um u know similar explanation by the way very smart the way u got it right
I tried formula in the second answer to find the product of all positive odd integers less than 4 and found that it works
This second formula also worked for all positive odd integers less 6, 8,10,12 and 14.
Then I noticed that 1x3x5x7x9x11x13x...x47x49 = (1x 2 x3x 4 x5x 6 x7x...x 50 )/( 2x4x6x8x10x...x50 )
It works for 16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,52,54,56,58,60,62,64 and 66 so it must work for 10000.
So, 1x3x5x7x...x9999 = (1x2x3x4x5x...x10000)/(2x4x6x8x...10000) =10000!/(2^5000x5000!)
I may well be missing something, but why did you stop with 66 in the examples you gave. There was once a formula proposed for generating prime numbers which worked beautifully up to 41, and then failed spectacularly, giving a perfect square for the answer. Is there some particular significance to 66?
er...not really though
