Question Number 186323 by Rupesh123 last updated on 03/Feb/23

Commented by Frix last updated on 03/Feb/23

n!∼(n^n /e^n )(√(2πn))  a_n ∼((√(2πn))/e^n )  lim_(n→∞)  a_n  =0

$${n}!\sim\frac{{n}^{{n}} }{\mathrm{e}^{{n}} }\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\pi{n}} \\ $$$${a}_{{n}} \sim\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\pi{n}}}{\mathrm{e}^{{n}} } \\ $$$$\underset{{n}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\:{a}_{{n}} \:=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

just a bit of thinking  both numerator and denominator are  products of n factors  a_n =(n/n) ∙ ((n−1)/n) ∙ ((n−2)/n) ∙∙∙ (2/n) ∙ (1/n)  every fraction is <1  a_n <1     ∀n>1  Denominator grows faster than numerator  because   n^n >n!   ∀n>1
