-cos xcosx

Explanation:

d/dx sin x = cos xddxsinx=cosx
d^2/dx^2 sin x= - sin x d2dx2sinx=sinx
d^3/dx^3 sin x= - cos x d3dx3sinx=cosx
d^4/dx^4 sin x= sin x d4dx4sinx=sinx

So, every fourth derivative of sin xsinx is back to sin xsinx. Thus the 104th derivative of sin xsinx is also sin xsinx, and the 107th derivative is the same as the third.
