A somewhat trivial question;
How does the following simplify to $\frac1n$?
$$\frac{(n-1)!}{n!} = \frac1n$$
I'm just not seeing the algebra/operations. Is there a way to expand $!(n-1)$?

$$\frac{(n-1)!}{n!}=\frac{1\cdot2\cdot3\dots(n-2)\cdot(n-1)\phantom{\ \cdot n}}{1\cdot2\cdot3\dots(n-2)\cdot(n-1)\cdot n}=\boxed{\frac 1n}$$
