So, do you want the file at the end or not? If not:
x <- 1:6
prod(x)
and if this is really the solution you want, the please read the posting
guide and the manuals before posting again.

By using some algebraic software (rather than a numeric one) or
contributing complete derivatives tables for the next R release.
