Mathworld's discussion of the [Gamma function](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GammaFunction.html) has the pleasant formula: $$ \frac{\Gamma(\frac{1}{24})\Gamma(\frac{11}{24})}{\Gamma(\frac{5}{24})\Gamma(\frac{7}{24})} = \sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{3}} $$ This may have been computed algorithmically, according to the page. So I ask how one might derive this? --- My immediate thought was to look at $(\mathbb{Z}/24\mathbb{Z})^\times = \big( \{ 1,5,7,11 \big| 13, 17, 19 , 23 \}, \times \big)$ where $1,5,7,11$ are [relatively prime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm) to 24. And the other half? We could try to use the mirror formula $$ \Gamma(z) \Gamma(1-z) = \frac{\pi}{\sin(\pi z)} $$ or the Euler [beta integral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_function) but nothing has come up yet: $$ \int_0^1 x^a (1-x)^b \, dx = \frac{\Gamma(a) \Gamma(b)}{\Gamma(a+b)} $$
