limits - Stirling's formula: proof?

Suppose we want to show that n!2πnn+(1/2)en



Instead we could show that limnn!nn+(1/2)en=C where C is a constant. Maybe C=2π.



What is a good way of doing this? Could we use L'Hopital's Rule? Or maybe take the log of both sides (e.g., compute the limit of the log of the quantity)? So for example do the following limnlog[n!nn+(1/2)en]=logC
