True, but why?

3 ! 1 ! + 4 ! 2 ! + 5 ! 3 ! + . . . + 100 ! 98 ! = ? \frac{3!}{1!} + \frac{4!}{2!} + \frac{5!}{3!} + ... + \frac{100!}{98!} = \ ?

B = 98 + 16 × ( 49 ) ( 50 ) ( 51 ) 6 B = 98 + 16 \times \frac{(49)(50)(51)}{6} Both A A and B B Neither A A nor B B A = 2 ( 3 2 + 5 2 + 7 2 + + 9 9 2 ) A = 2 ( 3^2 + 5^2 + 7^2 + \cdots + 99^2)
