# gamma function identity

Hi my brilliant friends.. This identity of gamma function is well known . actually I need help to prove it by using Stirling's approximation. The identity is $\Gamma (x) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n! n^{x-1}}{x(x-1)(x-2)......... (x+n-1)}$ How we can prove it by Stirling's approximation??? Please post an obvious proof.. thanks

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
