Answer

$\infty$

Work Step by Step

We need to apply ratio test for a given series. $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |\dfrac{5^{n+1}}{(n+1)!} \times \dfrac{n!}{5^n}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{5}{n+1}=0$ This implies that the radius of convergence of the series is $\infty$ and the series converges at $R$.
