Homework Statement
[tex]\lim_{n\rightarrow ∞}\frac{n^n}{n!}[/tex]
Homework Equations
n! = (1)⋅(2)⋅(3)⋅...⋅(n-1)⋅n
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\lim_{n\rightarrow ∞}\frac{n^n}{n!}[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{n\rightarrow ∞}\frac{n^n}{(1)⋅(2)⋅...⋅(n-1)⋅n}[/tex]
I then factor n out of the denominator n times, or rather, nn, leaving:
[tex]\lim_{n\rightarrow ∞}\frac{n^n}{n^n⋅(\frac{1}{n})⋅(\frac{2}{n})⋅...⋅(1-\frac{1}{n})⋅(1)}[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{n\rightarrow ∞}\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{n})⋅(\frac{2}{n})⋅...⋅(1-\frac{1}{n})⋅(1)}[/tex]
which is:
[tex]\frac{1}{0⋅0⋅...⋅(1-0)} = \frac{1}{0}=∞[/tex]This is the result Wolfram gives, but I can't get the step by step since I don't have Pro.
