The positive tail after term in the reciprocal-factorial series for Euler's number satisfies . The upper bound replaces each subsequent denominator factor by and sums the resulting geometric series; the lower bound retains only the first omitted term. This supplies an explicit error certificate and, with Stirling's formula, a term count of order for decimal digits. The arithmetic evaluation also has its own rounding error, distinct from this truncation bound.
