Is there a simple way to express : $\frac{n!}{(n+\frac{1}{x})!} = ?$ where $x, n$ are positive real numbers ?

$n!\sim\sqrt{2n\pi}\cdot(\frac{n}{e})^n$.
$\left(n+{1\over x}\right )!\sim\sqrt{2\left(n+{1\over x}\right ) \pi}\cdot\left (\frac{\left(n+{1\over x}\right ) }{e}\right )^\left(n+{1\over x}\right ) $.
$\frac{n!}{\left(n+{1\over x}\right )!} \sim \frac{e^{1 \over x}}{\sqrt{\left(1+{1\over nx}\right )}} \frac{1}{n^{1\over x}}\frac{1}{\left(1+{1\over nx}\right )^{1\over x}} \frac{1}{\left(1+{1\over nx}\right )^n} $
$\frac{n!}{\left(n+{1\over x}\right )!} \sim \frac{1}{\sqrt{\left(1+{1\over nx}\right )}} \frac{1}{\left(n+{1\over x}\right )^{1\over x}} $
The answer you are looking for is found in the identity
$$\frac{\Gamma(n+x)}{\Gamma(n)}=(x)_n$$
where $(x)_n$ is the Pochhammer polynomial.
