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, see A056067 and A056068.
A105350(n) = a(n)^2.

EXAMPLE
For 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 occurs as follows: for n=416 or n=417, floor(n/2)=208, and 208!^2 divides 416! and 417!, but 209!^2 and 210!^2 also divide these factorials.
