I wish to show that the sum of 9 consecutive natural numbers: n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)...(n+8) will not be a perfect square.
This problem came by as a result of another problem I was doing and I'm wondering if anyone knows/has come across this already.
After some searching I found that n! is not a perfect square (although I found no proof).
In my case I wish to show that (n+8)!-(n-1)! is not a perfect square.
