For every positive even integer n, the function h(n) is defined to be

the smallest prime factor of h(100) + 1, then p is:

A. between 2 and 10
B. between 10 and 20
C. between 20 and 30
D. between 30 and 40

roughly speaking... [#permalink] New post 02 Apr 2006, 02:07
h(100)+1 = 2*4*6*......*100 + 1
= 2^50*(1*2*3*....50) + 1

from this, we know that h(100)+1 is not divisible by any prime number less than 50.

So it should be at leat more than 50
