AIME 2009b Problem 7

  • Paper
  • Answer

Define n!!n!! to be n(n−2)(n−4)⋯3⋅1n(n-2)(n-4)\cdots 3\cdot 1 for nn odd and n(n−2)(n−4)⋯4⋅2n(n-2)(n-4)\cdots 4\cdot 2 for nn even. When ∑i=12009(2i−1)!!(2i)!!\sum_{i=1}^{2009} \frac{(2i-1)!!}{(2i)!!} is expressed as a fraction in lowest terms, its denominator is 2ab2^ab with bb odd. Find ab10\dfrac{ab}{10}.
