Prove $\lim_{n\to \infty}n/\log(n!)=0$ without using Stirling's approximation

$
0
0

It is convincing that the limit is 0 since $n$ has one fixed increasing step 1 but $\log(n!)$ has one strictly increasing step $\log n$. This is by seeing the limit as $\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{n}1}{\sum_{k=1}^{n}\log k}$.

Wolfram Alpha tells me to use Stirling's approximation. Then is there one way to prove $\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{n}{\log(n!)}=0$ without using Stirling's approximation? By the above step inspect, it seems that we can use Squeeze theorem where one direction $\frac{n}{\log(n!)}\ge 0$ is trivial.
