(2/48)(3/48)(4/48)(5/48)(6/48)(7/48)(8/48)(9/48... Here

In this structure, the numerator is the product of all integers from 1 to 48 (though the sequence starts at 2,

48!4847the fraction with numerator 48 exclamation mark and denominator 48 to the 47th power end-fraction

This sequence is a perfect illustration of or exponential decay. In statistics, if you were looking for the probability of 47 independent events occurring—where each event has a progressively higher but still limited chance of success—the likelihood of the entire chain succeeding is almost non-existent.

The graph above shows the "collapse" on a logarithmic scale. Even as the individual terms (like 47/48) approach 1, they are unable to reverse the momentum of the tiny fractions at the start of the chain.
