(n-3)!/(n-1)! Any Idea?

The nth term of the sequence is given; check whether the sequence is convergent or divergent.

    (n-3)!/(n-1)!

    If we put n= infinity then the answer is zero so the
    sequence converges to zero.

      The series sum seems to converge to 1 for n=3..Infinity. (The sum up to and including the term for n seems to be 1-1/(n-1). For n<=2, the terms of the series don't seem to be defined:
      (n-3)!/(n-1)! = (n-3)!/((n-1)(n-2)(n-3)!)
        = 1/((n-1)(n-2)) for n>=3

      For n=1 or 2, the denominator is 0, so the series term is 1/0 = undefined.
