Hello everyone, I have just taken the GMATprep 1. I have one question which I do not know how to answer, even after reviewing it. The question is:
For every positive even integer n, the function h(n) is defined to be the product of all the even integers from 2 to n, inclusive. If p is the smallest prime factor of h(100) + 1, then p is
A. between 2 and 10
B. between 10 and 20
C. between 20 and 30
D. between 30 and 40
E. greater than 40
Kindly help me to solve this math problem. Thanks a lot.

I am sorry! but I really need to know how to solve it.
your answer is correct, it is E. After looking at how you solved it, now I believe it is solvable within 2 minutes, but I need a deep understanding on functions like yours. I am still amazed at how you derived it (at first it looked complicated). Thanks.
