Brocard's problem

Unsolved problem in mathematics:
Does have integer solutions other than ?

Brocard's problem is a problem in mathematics that seeks integer values of such that is a perfect square, where is the factorial. Only three values of are known — 4, 5, 7 — and it is not known whether there are any more.

More formally, it seeks pairs of integers and such thatThe problem was posed by Henri Brocard in a pair of articles in 1876 and 1885,[1][2] and independently in 1913 by Srinivasa Ramanujan.[3]
