not sure but is it tending to zero??
 
on simplifying u get sin (2n+1pi/7)        ----------- first generalising for n terms.
 .                              2n sin(pi/7)
 
now as n tends to infi. this expression tends to zero. as sin ( ) is going to be from [-1,1] but 2n will tend to infinitely large value so the whole expression wud tend to zero.

y=cos(pi/7).cos(2pi/7).cos(4pi/7)............
for n terms
2^n * sin(pi/7).y=2^n * sin(pi/7).cos(pi/7).cos(2pi/7).cos(4pi/7)....cos(2^npi/7)
2^n * sin(pi/7).y=2^n-1 * sin(2pi/7).cos(2pi/7).cos(4pi/7)....cos(2^npi/7)
.
.
.
2^n *sin(pi/7).y = 2sin2^n(pi/7).cos2^n(pi/7)
2^n *sin(pi/7).y = sin2^n+1(pi/7)
y=[sin2^n+1(pi+7)]/2^n*sin(pi/7)
now as n -> inf.
lim   y=  (sin2^n+1(pi/7))    
n->inf    ----------------  ---->0
          (2^n) .sin(pi/7)

Let y = cos/7 cos2/7 cos4/7 .....
y(2sin/7) = (2sin/7cos/7) cos2/7 cos4/7 .....upto n terms
y(2sin/7) = sin2/7 cos2/7 cos4/7 .....upto n terms
y(22sin/7)  = (2sin2/7 cos2/7) cos4/7 .....upto n terms
y(22sin/7) = sin4/7 cos4/7 .....upto n terms
Similarly
y(2nsin/7) = sin2n+1/7
y= sin2n+1/7/2nsin/7
The required sum is
S = n y =  n sin2n+1/7/2nsin/7 = 0
As the Nr is a bounded quantity lying between -1 and 1. So it has a finite value. The Dr increases without bound. Hence the quotient approaches zero.


All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

Cos /7 . cos 2 /7 . cos 4 / 7
 
Remember there is a formula such as :
CosA.Cos2A.Cos22A.Cos23A..................Cos2n-1A
=Sin2n A / 2n Sin A
 
so then we will get
where "A"= /7
 
=Sin 23 /7 / 8 sin/7 
 
=Sin 8/7 / 8 Sin/7
 
=1/8
 
Therefore the answer is 1/8
 
plZ rate me for my efforts
Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@waterdemon...it has to b -1/8

u 4got dat (sin 8pi/7)/(sin pi/7) = -1 not 1!!!

look it's easy.
multiply & divide by 2sin/7.
we get
[sin2/7 cos2/7cos4/7]/2sin/7
multiply &divide by2
[sin4/7 cos4/7]/4sin/7
again by 2
{sin8/7}/8sin/7
 
= -1/8
