Let's suppose $R_1>0$ radius of convergence of the power serie $\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nz^n$. What is the convergence radius of the series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{a_n}{n!}z^n$?
Idea: By Cauchy-Hadamard theorem
$\frac{1}{R_2}=\limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{|b_n|}$ with $R_2$ radius of convergence of the power serie $\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{a_n}{n!}z^n$ and $b_n=\frac{a_n}{n!}$. Then…
$\frac{1}{R_2}=\limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{|b_n|}=\limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{|\frac{a_n}{n!}|}=\limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sqrt[n]{|a_n|}}{\sqrt[n]{n!}}=\frac{\limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty}\sqrt[n]{|a_n|}}{\limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty}\sqrt[n]{n!}}???$
can I assure that ${\{|a_n|}\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ converges?
$R_2=\infty$?
Note: To apply the quotient critic $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}|\frac{b_n}{b_{n+1}}|$ we need to ${\{n\in\mathbb{N}:b_n=0}\} $ finite
Can someone help me solve the problem?

1) Your last equality is not justified: it is not always true that $\limsup \dfrac{a_n}{b_n}=\dfrac{\limsup a_n}{\limsup b_n}$. Instead, you'll have to argue that the numerator of your fraction is bounded (since it has a finite $\limsup$) and the denominator diverges to $+\infty$.
