How is that $(1/k)^k$ derived from this power series?

How is that $(\frac{1}{k})^{k}$ derived? I know it is something related to combinatorics, would you give me a proof on this, and also point me to some other useful web resource to understand this deeper?

It has nothing to do with combinatorics. It's just the elementary limit $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n+a}{kn+b}=\frac1k$$ where $a,b,k$ are constants. Notice that you can split the limit of the product into the product of the limits because the number of factors ($k$) is a constant which does not depend on $n$.
