Consider the following numbers (where n!
is factorial(n)
):
u1 = (1 / 1!) * (1!)
u2 = (1 / 2!) * (1! + 2!)
u3 = (1 / 3!) * (1! + 2! + 3!)
un = (1 / n!) * (1! + 2! + 3! + ... + n!)
Which will win: 1 / n!
or (1! + 2! + 3! + ... + n!)
?
Are these numbers going to 0
because of 1/n!
or to infinity due
to the sum of factorials or to another number?
Calculate (1 / n!) * (1! + 2! + 3! + ... + n!)
for a given n
, where n
is an integer greater or equal to 1
.
To avoid discussions about rounding, return the result truncated to 6 decimal places, for example:
1.0000989217538616 will be truncated to 1.000098
1.2125000000000001 will be truncated to 1.2125
Keep in mind that factorials grow rather rapidly, and you need to handle large inputs.
