Please don't write in all caps. It is equivalent to shouting in speaking and hence rude. ∏ k = 1 n k = 1 × 2 × 3 × . . . ( n − 2 ) × ( n − 1 ) × n

Thanks for your reply. Sorry from my side. I wasn't aware of the fact that writing in capital letter is rude. I am very, very sorry to you. Also, thanks for replying me. I hope you aren't angry and will help in my future problems.

P = n = 2 ∏ ∞ n 3 + 1 n 3 − 1 = n = 2 ∏ ∞ ( n + 1 ) ( n 2 − n + 1 ) ( n − 1 ) ( n 2 + n + 1 ) = n = 2 ∏ ∞ n + 1 n − 1 ⋅ n 2 − n + 1 ( n + 1 ) 2 − ( n + 1 ) + 1 = ∏ n = 3 ∞ n ∏ n = 1 ∞ n ⋅ ∏ n = 2 ∞ ( n 2 − n + 1 ) ∏ n = 3 ∞ ( n 2 − n + 1 ) = ∏ n = 3 ∞ n 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ ∏ n = 3 ∞ n ⋅ ( 2 2 − 2 + 1 ) ∏ n = 3 ∞ ( n 2 − n + 1 ) ∏ n = 3 ∞ ( n 2 − n + 1 ) = 3 2
⟹ a + b = 2 + 3 = 5
