%281-1%2F3%29+%281-1%2F4%29+%281-1%2F5%29%2A%22%22%2A%22%22%2A%281-1%2Fn%29%22%22=%22%22

Let's write a couple of terms before the last

%22%22=%22%22


%22%22=%22%22

%22%22=%22%22

%22%22=%22%22

Then start cancelling:

%22%22=%22%22

Everything cancels except the first numerator and the last
denominator:

Answer:  2%2Fn
