Using the change-of-base rule, the sum becomes

l o g n ( 2 ) + l o g n ( 3 ) + l o g n ( 4 ) + . . . + l o g n ( 2016 ) log_{n}(2) + log_{n}(3) + log_{n}(4) + ... + log_{n}(2016) .

By the properties of logarithms we know that this then equals

l o g n ( 2 3 4 . . . . . 2016 ) = l o g n ( 2016 ! ) log_{n}(2 * 3 * 4 * ..... * 2016) = log_{n}(2016!) .

So with n = 2016 ! n = 2016! we have the solution l o g n ( 2016 ! ) = 1 log_{n}(2016!) = \boxed{1} .
