I want to sum the series n!/(n+m)! for m>= 2 and n =0 to infinity. I have looked at the sum of these series for m=2,3,4 and noticed that the numerator changes for each m but the denominator becomes (m+n)!. Also I canceled out the n! when factoring n! and (n+m)! to get 1/((n+1)(n+2)...(n+m)) but I am stuck. Any Ideas would be great.
m=2
So=(1/2)
S1= (1/2)+(1/6)=(4/6)
S2=(1/2)+(1/6)+(1/12)= (18/24)
..
Sn=((m+n)!-(n+1)!)/(m+n)!
for m=3
So=(1/6)
S1= (1/6)+(1/24)=(5/24)
S2=(1/6)+(1/24)+(1/60)= (27/120)
