Let \(n\) be a positive integer. How many values of \(n\) satisfy the following inequality? \[(n-1)(n-3)(n-5)\cdots(n-2025)(n-2027) \le 0\] Note: The product on the left side of the inequality consists of \(1014\) factors of the form \(n-d\), where the value of \(d\) starts at \(1\) and increases by \(2\) for each subsequent factor.
