To prove that $1+ \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{3}{4} \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{2} \frac{3}{4} \frac{5}{6}\frac{1}{7}+.... $ converges.

If i attempt to find the nth term for this series i fail

I tired to make the denominator a factorial so that the series become like

$$1+ \frac{1}{3!} +\frac{3.3}{5!} +\frac{3.3.5.5}{7!} +\frac{3.3.5.5.7.7}{9!}+ .... $$ What would be the numerator of the nth term of this series

$$a_n = \frac{?}{(2n+1)!}, n=0,1,2,...$$

How does this series converges?

This is an exercise probelm 8 in methods of real analysis by Richard R goldberg, please help me with the proof.
