We can write that as:
9 9 ! ( 1 0 0 − 1 ) 9 8 ! ( 9 9 + 1 ) 9 7 ! ( 9 8 − 1 ) ⋯ ( 2 − 1 ) 9 9 ! ( 1 0 0 + 1 ) 9 8 ! ( 9 9 − 1 ) 9 7 ! ( 9 8 + 1 ) ⋯ ( 2 + 1 )
And then we get
9 9 × 1 0 0 × 9 7 × 9 8 × 9 5 × 9 6 × ⋯ × 6 × 3 × 4 × 1 1 0 1 × 9 8 × 9 9 × 9 6 × 9 7 × 9 4 × ⋯ × 4 × 5 × 2 × 3 = 1 0 0 1 0 1 × 2 = 2 5 0 1
So, a = 2 , b = 1 , c = 5 0 and their product is 2 × 1 × 5 0 = 1 0 0
