how to prove that $\sum_{k=1}^{m}k!k=(m+1)!-1$ without induction?

Question

how to prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^{m}k!k=(m+1)!-1$$ without induction ?

my only try is to put $k!=\Gamma(k+1)$ then use geometric series with some steps but I got complicated integral

If any one can solve it using my way or similar way using calculus technique

Answer 1

$$ \sum_{k=1}^{m}k!k \\ \sum_{k=1}^{m}k!(k+1-1) \\ \sum_{k=1}^{m}k!(k+1)-k! \\ \sum_{k=1}^{m}(k+1)!-k! \\ = 2!-1!+3!-2!+4!-3!+\cdots + (m+1)!-m! \\ =(m+1)!-1 $$

Answer 2

There is a combinatorial approach.

The number $(m+1)!-1$ counts the number of non-identity permutations of $\{1,2,\dots,m+1\}$.

On the other hand $k\cdot k!$ counts the number of such permutations that fix all elements greater than $k+1$ but not $k+1$.
