Thread: meaning of symbol

Hello,
I came across this symbol while i was doing some work and wanted to know what it meant and how to solve for it. Thanks for your help in advance!

It means product.

so if you were given

1-(n-1 product symbol i=0) (1-((1/(2^(l*d))*(a)*(p)*(b-g)-i)

values for symbols
a=2^16
b=2^16
g=1024
p=2

how would you solve it? i've got an answer which i know is probably wrong of
1-(n-1 product symbol i=0)(1-(1/8455716864*(2^(d*l))-i)

can i drop out of equation?

What are you trying to solve for?

To solve for something you need an equality sign solve for x. is not an equality.

For example
