    cos 20 cos 40 cos 80 =

    = (2 sin 20 cos 20 cos 40 cos 80) / 2 sin 20 =

    (multiple and divide by 2 sin 20)

    = (sin 40 cos 40 cos 80) / 2 sin 20 =

    = (1/2 sin 80 cos 80) / 2 sin 20 =

    = (sin 80 cos 80) / 4 sin 20 =

    = 1/2 sin 160 / 4 sin 20 =

    = sin 160 / 8 sin 20 = (and since: sin 160 = sin 20)

    = 1 / 8
