COMMENTS

This is neither Floor[n/2]! nor Ceiling[n/2], but often coincidence with one of them.

a(n)=x!, where x=Floor[n/2]+d(n) and d=0,1,2,.. Below 1000, d=1 arises 93 times, d=2 4 times.

A105350(n) = a(n)^2.

EXAMPLE

n=10 or n=11: Floor[n/2]!=5!=120; 5!^2=14400 divides 10!=14400*252 or 11!=14400*2772.However, 10!/6!^2=7 and 11!/6!^2=77, i.e. (d+Floor[n/2])^2 may divide n!.Here d=1 but d>1 also occur as follows: n=416 or n=417, Floor[n/2]=208, 208!^2 divides 416! or 417!, but 209!^2 and 210!^2 also divide these factorials.
