Sažetak

We calculated the optimal values of the real parameters $a$ and $b$ in such a way that the asymptotic formula
\[
n!\sim e^{-a}\left(\frac{n+a}{e}\right)^n \sqrt{2\pi(n+b)}\,\,\,(as\,\,\, n\to \infty)
\]
gives the best accurate values for $n!$. Our estimations improve the classical Stirling and Burnside's formulas and their several recent improvements due to the author and C. Mortici. Apart from their simplicities and beauties our formulas give very accurate values for factorial $n$. Also, our results lead to new upper and lower bounds for the gamma function and recover some published inequalities for the gamma function.
