find limit (lim n->infinity an) sequence an = (5n-1)!/(5n+1)!

$\begingroup$

Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, find the limit. If it diverges write NONE.

$a_n = \frac {(5n-1)!}{(5n+1)!}$

$\displaystyle\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n=?$


the answer is $0$, but I have no idea how to get the value.

We have

$$a_n=\frac{(5n-1)!}{(5n+1)!}$$

$$a_n=\frac{1.2.3...(5n-1)}{1.2.3...(5n-1)5n(5n+1)}$$

$$=\frac{1}{5n(5n+1)}$$

So,

$$\lim_{n\to+\infty}a_n=0.$$
