Calculate the multifactorial 5!!
We have 2 exclamation symbols (!)
Start at 5
Iterate backwards in steps of 2
Stop when we hit 1 or below
Term 1
For term 1, we start with 5
Term 2
Subtract -1 x 2 = -2 to get n(n - -2)
(n - -2) → 5 - -2 = 3
Our factorial term is:
5(3)
Term 3
Subtract -1 x 2 = -2 to get n(n - -2)(n - -2)
(n - -2) → 5 - -2 = 1
Our factorial term is:
5(3)(1)
Build final multifactorial:
5!! = n(n - -2)(n - -2)...
5!! = 5(3)(1)
Final Answer
5!! = 15
