For a positive integer k , the sum:
n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) . . . ( n + k ) 1
converges to...

@Kushal Bose – Don't know. I am using the app and the option to reply does not appear. Maybe because I wrote the problem, don't know...
t n = n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) . . . . ( n + k ) 1 = ( n + k ) ! ( n − 1 ) ! = k ! 1 ( n + k ) ! ( n − 1 ) ! k ! = Γ ( n + k + 1 ) Γ ( n ) Γ ( k + 1 ) = k ! 1 B ( n , k + 1 )
We need to evaluate
S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ k ! 1 B ( n , k + 1 ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ k ! 1 ∫ 0 1 x n − 1 ( 1 − x ) k d x
= k ! 1 ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x ) k ( n = 1 ∑ ∞ x n − 1 ) d x = k ! 1 ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x ) k ( 1 − x 1 ) d x .......................As ∣ x ∣ < 1
= k ! 1 ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x ) k − 1 d x = k . k ! 1

S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) . . . ( n + k − 1 ) ( n + k ) 1
S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) . . . ( n + k − 1 ) ( n + k ) 1 ⋅ k ( n + k ) − n
S = k 1 n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) . . . ( n + k − 1 ) 1 − ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) . . . ( n + k ) 1
This will telescope, and only the first term will remain:
S = k 1 [ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) . . . ( n + k − 1 ) 1 ] n = 1
S = k ⋅ k ! 1
