n = 3 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − ( 6 n ) 4 1 6 )
This problem's question: What is the five digit integer in the numerator of the simplified result?
The result when simplified has the form of a reduced rational fraction times π 2 3 sinh ( 3 π ) . The numerator of the reduced rational fraction is the answer.
In a reduced fraction the numerator and the denominator are co-prime.

Thank you. Now, I need to find another class of problems.

Well, then I'll be waiting for them....!! Although I had a doubt, regarding your reply to Kyle Tripp........If you solved the question via Wolfram, then how did you form/find the question in the first place???
I "played" with various infinite products until I found an interesting answer and then turned it around to make a problem out of it.
∏ n = 3 ∞ ( 1 − ( 6 n ) 4 1 6 ) ⇒ 1 2 9 5 0 π 2 5 9 0 4 9 3 sinh ( 3 π ) .
I can confirm this answer via wolfram
<<Chuckling to myself>> And, how do you think I did the problem in the first place? Wolfram Mathematica 12

Using the identity no. 40 on this page, we have,
( 1 − 3 4 1 ) ( 1 − 6 4 1 ) n = 3 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − ( 3 n ) 4 1 ) = π ∣ ∣ ( − 3 i − 1 ) ! ∣ ∣ 2 3 3 sin ( 3 π )
Because z = 3 1 . And so, after simplification, we have
n = 3 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − ( 3 n ) 4 1 ) = 1 2 9 5 0 π 2 5 9 0 4 9 3 sinh ( 3 π )
A Simpler Approach :-
Using the identity
n = 3 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − ( 3 n ) 4 1 ) = n = 3 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − ( 3 n ) 2 1 ) ⋅ n = 3 ∏ ∞ ( 1 + ( 3 n ) 2 1 )
we can evaluate the products on the right hand side using the infinite product for the Sinc function i.e.
x sin x = n = 1 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − n 2 π 2 x 2 )
Putting x = 3 π and x = 3 i π in the above infinite product, and after some simplifications, we arrive at the same answer.
