I need to find the nth term for this series, but I am really struggling with it, although I think it has at least two factorials in it, please help if you can.

(4/2)+(12/12)+(24/144)+(40/2880)+...

All help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

The nth term contains 2 factorials in the denominator.

One possible solution:

$\frac{2n(n+1)}{n!(n+1)!}$
