Verify that if

\({{v}_{n}}=n\left( n+1 \right)\left( n+2 \right)...\left( n+m \right)\).

then

\({{v}_{n+1}}-{{v}_{n}}=\left( m+1 \right)\left( n+1 \right)\left( n+2 \right)...\left( n+m \right)\).[2]

Given now that

\({{u}_{n}}=\left( n+1 \right)\left( n+2 \right)...\left( n+m \right)\),

find \(\sum\limits_{n=1}^{N}{{{u}_{n}}}\) in terms of \(m\) and \(N\).[3]
