Finding an Expression for $\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{i}{(i+1)!}}$

Question

I have the series

$\frac{1}{2!} + \frac{2}{3!} + \frac{3}{4!} + \text{... }+ \frac{n}{(n+1)!}$

How can I create a compact expression for the sum of the series? Essentially, what is a compact expression for the following?

$$\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{i}{(i+1)!}}$$

I'm lost as to where to start.

Answer 1

$$\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{i}{(i+1)!}}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{(i+1)-1}{(i+1)!}}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left({\frac{1}{i!}}-{\frac{1}{(i+1)!}}\right)=\frac{1}{1!}-\frac{1}{(n+1)!}$$
