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
