I think this question is very poorly worded

I read the digits as being part of a product operator

Sure, but what is d_\infty? What is the set \infty? What does the question mean by "every real number can be represented by"? There's nothing distinguishing d_1d_2... with d_1 times d_2 since we normally denote the product by writing the variables next to each other
