Abstract
Several approximations for n! have recently appeared in the literature. We show here how these approximations can be derived by expansion of certain polynomials in inverse powers of n and comparison with Stirling’s asymptotic series. Some new approximations are also given. The same procedure is applied to generate approximations for the ratio of two gamma functions.
