(1+tan 1)(1+ tan 2)...(1+tan 45)=(1+0.017455)(1+0.03492)...(1+1)=8388608.11

well u can also do this without a calculator
take
tan 1=tan(45-44)=(1-tan44)/(1+tan 44)
then

(1+tan1)=(1+ (1-tan44)/(1+tan 44))=(2)/(1+tan 44)
therefore similarly

(1+tan 1)(1+tan 2)...(1+tan 22)= (2)/(1+tan 44) (2)/(1+tan 43)(2)/(1+tan 42)..(2)/(1+tan 23)

= (2^(22))/((1+tan 44)(1+tan 43)(1+tan 42)...(1+tan 23))
then
(1+tan 1)...(1+tan 45)= (2^(22))/((1+tan 44)(1+tan 43)(1+tan 42)...(1+tan 23))(1+tan 23)(1+tan 24)...(1+tan 45)

=2^(22)(1+tan45)=2^(23)=8388608
