( 1 + t a n ( 1 ) ) ( 1 + t a n ( 2 ) ) . . . ( 1 + t a n ( 4 5 ) ) (1+tan(1^{\circ}))(1+tan(2^{\circ}))...(1+tan(45^{\circ}))

( 1 + t a n ( 1 ) ) ( 1 + t a n ( 2 ) ) . . . . ( 1 + t a n ( 45 1 ) × 2 (1+tan(1^{\circ}))(1+tan(2^{\circ})) .... ( 1 + tan(45 - 1)^{\circ} \times 2

( 1 + t a n ( 1 ) ) ( 1 + t a n ( 2 ) ) . . . . ( 1 + 1 t a n 1 1 + t a n 1 ) × 2 (1+tan(1^{\circ}))(1+tan(2^{\circ})) .... ( 1 + \dfrac{ 1 - tan1^{\circ}}{1 + tan1^{\circ}})\times 2

( 1 + t a n ( 1 ) ) ( 1 + t a n ( 2 ) ) . . . . ( 2 1 + t a n 1 ) × 2 (1+tan(1^{\circ}))(1+tan(2^{\circ})) ....(\dfrac{2}{1+tan1^{\circ}})\times 2

similarly for 2 and 43 , 3 and 42.......... so we can see 22 pairs , so they will give 2 22 2^{22} and other 2 due to 1 + tan45 thus n=23

Note that ( 1 + tan α ) × ( 1 + tan ( 45 α ) ) = 2 \left(1+\tan\alpha^\circ\right)\times{\left(1+\tan(45-\alpha)^\circ\right)}=2 .

Now, grouping the expression in pairs like below:

p 1 = ( 1 + tan 1 ) × ( 1 + tan 4 4 ) = 2 p 2 = ( 1 + tan 2 ) × ( 1 + tan 4 3 ) = 2 p 22 = ( 1 + tan 2 2 ) × ( 1 + tan 2 3 ) = 2 p 23 = ( 1 + tan 4 5 ) = 2 p_{1}=\left(1+\tan1^\circ\right)\times{\left(1+\tan44^\circ\right)}=2\\p_{2}=\left(1+\tan2^\circ\right)\times{\left(1+\tan43^\circ\right)}=2\\\vdots\\p_{22}=\left(1+\tan22^\circ\right)\times{\left(1+\tan23^\circ\right)}=2\\p_{23}=\left(1+\tan45^\circ\right)=2 .

Hence, p 1 × p 2 × × p 23 = 2 × 2 × × 2 23 times = 2 23 p_{1}\times{p_{2}}\times{\ldots}\times{p_{23}}=\underbrace{2\times{2}\times{\ldots}\times{2}}_\text{23 times}=2^{23}
