Write (2n)!(2n)! as the product of all integers from 1 to 2n2n, and split this into odd and even factors: (2n)!=[1⋅3⋅5⋯(2n−1)]×[2⋅4⋅6⋯(2n)](2n)! = [1\cdot3\cdot5\cdots(2n-1)]\times[2\cdot4\cdot6\cdots(2n)]. The even-factor block can be written as 2⋅4⋅6⋯(2n)=2(1)⋅2(2)⋅2(3)⋯2(n)=2n (1⋅2⋅3⋯n)=2n n!2\cdot4\cdot6\cdots(2n) = 2(1)\cdot2(2)\cdot2(3)\cdots2(n) = 2^n\,(1\cdot2\cdot3\cdots n) = 2^n\,n!. Substituting back: (2n)!=[1⋅3⋅5⋯(2n−1)]×2n n!(2n)! = [1\cdot3\cdot5\cdots(2n-1)]\times2^n\,n!. Dividing both sides by n!n! gives $\dfrac{(2n)!}{n!} = 2^n{1\cdo …
