What about

>> 1./(2:17)
ans =
  Columns 1 through 8
    0.5000    0.3333    0.2500    0.2000    0.1667    0.1429    0.1250    0.1111
  Columns 9 through 16
    0.1000    0.0909    0.0833    0.0769    0.0714    0.0667    0.0625    0.0588

Answer 1

[madhan ravi]

1) Create n as an input.

2) Make a loop until n .

3) Declare a variable named n_series with loop iterator as an index.

4) Declaration would be ...

factorial(i-1)/factorial(i) %i -Loop iterator

5) End the loop.

"If you follow the above steps and stitch them together" , you will be able to finish your homework easily.

Answer 2

[Stephen23]

A loop is not required, simple vectorized code will do this:

>> V = factorial(1:11);
>> V(1:10)./V(2:11)
ans =
   0.500000   0.333333   0.250000   0.200000   0.166667   0.142857   0.125000   0.111111   0.100000   0.090909
>> 1./(2:11) % get rid of the factorials, same results.
ans =
   0.500000   0.333333   0.250000   0.200000   0.166667   0.142857   0.125000   0.111111   0.100000   0.090909
