Unlike Worranat Pakornrat I had a sloppy beginning
∏ p ( 1 − p − 1 1 + 1 + p − 1 1 − 1 )
= ∏ p ( ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( ( p 1 ) n + ( − p 1 ) n ) − 1 )
= ∏ p ( 2 ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( p 2 n 1 ) − 1 )
= ∏ p ( 2 ( p 2 − 1 p 2 ) − 1 )
= ∏ p ( p 2 − 1 2 p 2 − 1 ) = ∏ p ( p 2 − 1 p 2 + 1 )
I then proceeded as Worranat. I am aware that I most likely made many mistakes along the way, regardless, this is my "reasoning".
My answer is 5/2 = 2.5!!! I am correct....

Relevant wiki: Riemann Zeta Function
According to Riemann Zeta function , the product of prime p can be written in a form:
ζ ( s ) = p = p r i m e ∏ 1 − p − s 1 .
Then we need to rearrange the original expression into a more applicable form:
∏ p = p r i m e ( 1 − p − 1 1 + 1 + p − 1 1 − 1 ) = ∏ p = p r i m e ( p − 1 p + p + 1 p − 1 ) = ∏ p = p r i m e ( p 2 − 1 2 p 2 − 1 ) = ∏ p = p r i m e ( p 2 − 1 p 2 + 1 )
Dividing the numerator and the denominator with p 2 :
∏ p = p r i m e ( p 2 − 1 p 2 + 1 ) = ∏ p = p r i m e ( 1 − p − 2 1 + p − 2 )
Then multiplying both with 1 − p − 2 :
∏ p = p r i m e ( 1 − p − 2 1 + p − 2 ) = ∏ p = p r i m e ( ( 1 − p − 2 ) 2 1 − p − 4 )
Hence, this is in a form of ζ ( 4 ) ( ζ ( 2 ) ) 2 = ( 6 π 2 ) 2 π 4 9 0 = 2 . 5
