So let me understand. Rather than directing you to the definition of the Euler function which shows the infinite product of 1-1/2
k, you demand that I substitute the values of k in for you and write
1 - 1/2 * 3/4 * 7/8 * 15/16 * ... ?
Or you want an explanation of *that*? You had already posted that, so I can't imagine what more "work" you want shown.

For example look how gracious nickthegeek was in getting exactly the right way to do things so that we as community improve.
Frankly, I didn't see the need for nickthegeek to apologize. Your product was correct, and everything you said after that in your first post could be accurately described as "nonsense", most notably the conclusion that the PhD's were correct and you always win.
I wasn't singling you out in particular. I've read other posts by you, and I don't think you're a literal idiot. But I observed poster after poster writing nonsense that can only be explained by someone working backwards from the answer that they assumed must be correct because "a few math PhD's insisted", and now more people confirmed, and one by one you all follow along like lemmings instead of thinking for yourselves.
