The correct answer is: 28

cosπ4cosπ8cosπ16cosπ32=2mcosecπn

LHS=12sinπ2n2cosπ2nsinπ2ncosπ2n-1..........cosπ4

12cosπ2n2sinπ2n-1cosπ2n-1cosπ2n-2..........cosπ4

12×22cosecπ2n2sinπ2n-2cosπ2n-2cosπ2n-2..........cosπ4

12n-2cosecπ2n2sinπ8cosπ8cosπ4

12×2n-2cosecπ2n2sinπ4cosπ4

12n-1cosecπ2n

if n=5 m=23,   m+n=28
