Answer 4

96!!

Answer 5

It seems like you're referring to the double factorial of 96, which is denoted as \( 96!! \). The double factorial of an even number \( n \) is defined as:

\[ n!! = n \times (n-2) \times (n-4) \times \ldots \times 2 \] and for odd numbers, it is given by:

\[ n!! = n \times (n-2) \times (n-4) \times \ldots \times 1 \]

For the even number 96, its double factorial can be calculated as follows:

\[ 96!! = 96 \times 94 \times 92 \times 90 \times \ldots \times 2 \]

Calculating \( 96!! \) involves multiplying all the even numbers from 96 down to 2.

If you'd like the numerical result of \( 96!! \), it can be a very large number and is typically calculated using programming or computational tools. Would you like a general idea of how big this number is, or do you want to go through the calculation step-by-step?
