Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of ln(5000!) is to be evaluated. The corresponding value is to be compared with the given value. The closeness of the corresponding different values is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Stirling’s approximation is used to estimate the natural logarithm of factorial of a number. The Stirling’s approximation is represented as,

lnN!NlnNN

It is assumed in the Stirling’s approximation that N is a large number.
