Table of n, a(n) for n=3..13.

Eric W. Weisstein, Pyramidal Number

Formula

A(k,n) = PRODUCT[j=1..n] (1/6)*j*(j+1)*[(k-2)*j+(5-k)].

a(n) ~ Pi^(3/2) * n^(4*n + 1/2) / (2^(n - 3/2) * 3^(n-1) * exp(3*n+2)) * (1 + (3*log(n) + 3*gamma + 5/4)/n), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 29 2023

Example

a(3) = product of the first 3 triangular pyramidal (tetrahedral) numbers (A000292) = A087047(3) = 1 * 4 * 10 = 40.
a(4) = product of the first 4 square pyramidal numbers (A000330) = 1 * 5 * 14 * 30 = 2100.
a(5) = product of the first 5 pentagonal pyramidal numbers (A002411) = 1 * 6 * 18 * 40 * 75 = 324000.
a(6) = product of the first 6 hexagonal pyramidal numbers (A002412) = 1 * 7 * 22 * 50 * 95 * 161 = 117771500.
a(7) = product of the first 7 heptagonal pyramidal numbers (A002413) = 1 * 8 * 26 * 60 * 115 * 196 * 308 = 86640153600.
a(8) = product of the first 8 octagonal pyramidal numbers (A002414) = 1 * 9 * 30 * 70 * 135 * 231 * 364 * 540 = 115851776040000.
