n = 1 ∑ ∞ 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 3 + 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 4 + ⋯ + n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) n ( n + 2 )
If the above expression is in the form B A where A and B are co-prime positive integers, then let ϕ = A × B .
φ = ϕ ϕ 2 ϕ 3 ϕ 4 ⋯
Find the value of ( 5 φ ) ! .
Notation :
! denotes the factorial notation. For example, 1 0 ! = 1 × 2 × 3 × ⋯ × 1 0 .

Yeah... Thanks ... and Its always good to be first ;-)
I guess I have to contend with the fifth spot :D.
Nice question, great solution @Rishabh Cool (+1)
Nice problem.

Thanks... ;-)
it's very awesome
I think you invest a lot of time on writing a problem ( actually two are more incorporated) and its solution. BTW nice solution.

No. Actually now I have become habitual of writing in Latex and its not tiring at all... and for writing a problem I'll say whenever I get an inspiration I weave it into a problem..... BTW Thanks... ;-)
A "Cool" question and a "Cool" solution.
very nice , i did the same :D
Nice problem and a great solution!
"If you found this problem easy to do, try this one"
Again and again -_-
How did u simplify sigma r(r+1)(r+2)expand
Did the same way

Great... :-)
This problem was posted a year ago... Where did you find it ?? :-)
This is very cool. Glad i could solve it easily.

If you found this problem easy do try this one too.. :-) S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ r = 1 ∑ n r ( r + 1 ) ( r + 2 ) n ( n + 2 ) ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ Using formula for sum of n,n 2 ,n 3 denominator can be simplified as: n = 1 ∑ ∞ ⎝ ⎛ 4 n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) n ( n + 2 ) ⎠ ⎞ = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( ( n + 1 ) ( n + 3 ) 4 ) Using Partial Fractions-Cover Up rule :- ( n + 1 ) ( n + 3 ) 4 = 2 ( n + 1 1 − n + 3 1 ) Therefore, S = 2 n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n + 1 1 − n + 3 1 ) A T e l e s c o p i c S e r i e s = 2 ( 2 1 + 3 1 ) = 3 5 ⟹ ϕ = 5 × 3 = 1 5
φ = ϕ 2 1 + 2 2 2 + 2 3 3 ⋯ ⟹ φ = ϕ 2 ( ∗ ∗ ) ∴ ( 5 φ ) ! = ( 5 ϕ ) ! = 3 ! = 6
( ∗ ∗ ) ( A G P ) S = 2 1 + 2 2 2 + 2 3 3 + 2 4 4 + … 2 1 S = 2 2 1 + 2 3 2 + 2 4 3 + 2 5 4 + … Subtracting we get: 2 1 S = 2 1 + 2 2 1 + 2 3 1 + 2 4 1 + 2 5 1 + … ( I n f i n i t e G P ) ⇒ S = 2 ( 1 − 2 1 2 1 ) = 2 ∴ S = 2
