Product 1

Calculus Level 2

If the value of the following product can be written as m n \frac{m}{n} for some coprime positive integers n n and m , m, find m + n : m+n:

P = r = 4 50 r 3 r + 1 . P = \prod_{r=4}^{50} \frac{r-3}{r+1}.


The answer is 249901.

Where does the one in the numerator come from? Where you have 1/249900.

P = r = 4 50 [ r 3 r + 1 ] = r = 4 50 [ r 3 ] × r = 4 50 [ 1 r + 1 ] P=\prod_{r=4}^{50}[\frac{r-3}{r+1}]=\red{\prod_{r=4}^{50}[r-3]}\times\blue{\prod_{r=4}^{50}[\frac{1}{r+1}]} Substitute x = r 3 x=r-3 in the f i r s t p r o d u c t \blue{first\space product} and y = r + 1 y=r+1 in the s e c o n d p r o d u c t \red{second\space product} P = x = 1 47 [ x ] × y = 5 51 [ 1 y ] \Rightarrow P=\prod_{x=1}^{47}[x]\times\prod_{y=5}^{51}[\frac{1}{y}] = x = 5 47 [ x ] × y = 5 47 [ 1 y ] × 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 1 51 × 1 50 × 1 49 × 1 48 =\prod_{x=5}^{47}[x]\times\prod_{y=5}^{47}[\frac{1}{y}]\times1\times2\times3\times4\times\frac{1}{51}\times\frac{1}{50}\times\frac{1}{49}\times\frac{1}{48} = 2 × 3 × 4 × 1 51 × 1 50 × 1 49 × 1 48 = 1 249900 =2\times3\times4\times\frac{1}{51}\times\frac{1}{50}\times\frac{1}{49}\times\frac{1}{48}=\frac{1}{249900} As 1 Z + 1\in\mathbb{Z}^+ , 249900 Z + 249900\in\mathbb{Z}^+ and gcd ( 1 , 249900 ) = 1 \gcd(1,249900)=1 , therefore the answer is = 249900 + 1 = 249901 =249900+1=249901
