By definition of factorial (n+2)! =(n+2) * (n+1) * n * (n-1) * ... * 3 * 2 * 1
Therefore
((n+2)!)/2
color(white)("XXX")=((n+2) * (n+1) * n * (n-1) * ... * 3 * cancel2 *1)/cancel2
color(white)("XXX")=(n+2)(n+1)...3

Divide the definition of factorial of n+2 by 2.

Explanation:

From the definition of factorial n!, which is product of all integers from 1 to n included:

1! =1
2! =1*2
3! =1*2*3
...
n! =1*2*...*(n-1)*n

We have
(n+2)! =1*2*...*(n+1)cdot(n+2)

Dividing by 2 and omitting 1:

((n+2)!)/2 =3*4*...*(n+1)cdot(n+2)
