FACTDOUBLE

FACTDOUBLE(number)

Returns the double factorial of a positive whole number.

number

The number you want the double factorial of.

REMARKS

* The double factorial is similar to the factorial, except it decrements by 2.
* The double factorial of an even number is n*(n-2)*(n-4)...(4)*(2)
* The double factorial of an odd number is n*(n-2)*(n-4)...(3)*(1)
* The double factorial of 0 is 1.
* If "number" < 0, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "number" is not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* If "number" is even then, formula used is: n(n-2)(n-4) to (4)(2).
* If "number" is odd then, formula used is: n(n-2)(n-4) to (3)(1).
* You can use the FACT function to return the factorial of a positive whole number.
* You can use the MULTINOMIAL function to return the factorial of the sum of values divided by the product of the values.
