Step 1: Identify the sum as a partial sum of the exponential series.
The sum ∑n=0k1n!\sum_{n=0}^{k} \frac{1}{n!} is a partial sum of the Taylor series for exe^x evaluated at x=1x=1.
As k→∞k \to \infty, this sum approaches e1=ee^1 = e.
Let Sk=∑n=0k1n!S_k = \sum_{n=0}^{k} \frac{1}{n!}.
The expression can be written as:

lim⁡k→∞(1−ln⁡Sk)⋅k!\lim_{k \to \infty} \left( 1 - \ln S_k \right) \cdot k!

As k→∞k \to \infty, Sk→eS_k \to e, so $\ln S_k
