Functions and the Smallest Prime Factor

Expert replies
by JJShannon3 » Sat Sep 01, 2012 6:57 am
I need some help on this one. Obviously, calculating out the product of all the even numbers between 2 and 100 is not the answer here. What's the shortcut? Thanks.

For every positive 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

Answer is E.

I keep getting to my answer being 2(50!)+ 1, but I'm lost on the smallest factor after that. The + 1 is throwing me off.

I never stop wondering why people dont use google. :)
Agree with a blank post of neelgandham. :) this question was discussed so many times that all we can add to that trillion posts is our blank posts :)
